Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 35,580,643, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 35,580,643 | |
| -1 | -35,580,643 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,580,643.
Example:
1 x 35,580,643 = 35,580,643
and
-1 x -35,580,643 = 35,580,643
Notice both answers equal 35,580,643
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,580,643 and divide it by 2:
35,580,643 ÷ 2 = 17,790,321.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,790,321.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 35,580,643 | |
| -1 | -35,580,643 |
Now, we try dividing 35,580,643 by 3:
35,580,643 ÷ 3 = 11,860,214.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,860,214.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 35,580,643 | |
| -1 | -35,580,643 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,580,643 ÷ 4 = 8,895,160.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,895,160.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 35,580,643 | |
| -1 | 35,580,643 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 37 | 119 | 259 | 629 | 4,403 | 8,081 | 56,567 | 137,377 | 298,997 | 961,639 | 2,092,979 | 5,082,949 | 35,580,643 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -37 | -119 | -259 | -629 | -4,403 | -8,081 | -56,567 | -137,377 | -298,997 | -961,639 | -2,092,979 | -5,082,949 | -35,580,643 |
