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 35,616,583, 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 | 35,616,583 | |
| -1 | -35,616,583 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,616,583.
Example:
1 x 35,616,583 = 35,616,583
and
-1 x -35,616,583 = 35,616,583
Notice both answers equal 35,616,583
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,616,583 and divide it by 2:
35,616,583 ÷ 2 = 17,808,291.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,808,291.5 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 | 35,616,583 | |
| -1 | -35,616,583 |
Now, we try dividing 35,616,583 by 3:
35,616,583 ÷ 3 = 11,872,194.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,872,194.3333 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 | 35,616,583 | |
| -1 | -35,616,583 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,616,583 ÷ 4 = 8,904,145.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,904,145.75 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 | 35,616,583 | |
| -1 | 35,616,583 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 53 | 113 | 313 | 1,007 | 2,147 | 5,947 | 5,989 | 16,589 | 35,369 | 113,791 | 315,191 | 672,011 | 1,874,557 | 35,616,583 |
| -1 | -19 | -53 | -113 | -313 | -1,007 | -2,147 | -5,947 | -5,989 | -16,589 | -35,369 | -113,791 | -315,191 | -672,011 | -1,874,557 | -35,616,583 |
