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 35,621,179, 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 | 35,621,179 | |
| -1 | -35,621,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,621,179.
Example:
1 x 35,621,179 = 35,621,179
and
-1 x -35,621,179 = 35,621,179
Notice both answers equal 35,621,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,621,179 and divide it by 2:
35,621,179 ÷ 2 = 17,810,589.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,810,589.5 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 | 35,621,179 | |
| -1 | -35,621,179 |
Now, we try dividing 35,621,179 by 3:
35,621,179 ÷ 3 = 11,873,726.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,873,726.3333 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 | 35,621,179 | |
| -1 | -35,621,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,621,179 ÷ 4 = 8,905,294.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,905,294.75 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 | 35,621,179 | |
| -1 | 35,621,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 79 | 179 | 229 | 869 | 1,969 | 2,519 | 14,141 | 18,091 | 40,991 | 155,551 | 199,001 | 450,901 | 3,238,289 | 35,621,179 |
| -1 | -11 | -79 | -179 | -229 | -869 | -1,969 | -2,519 | -14,141 | -18,091 | -40,991 | -155,551 | -199,001 | -450,901 | -3,238,289 | -35,621,179 |
