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 35,640,539, 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 | 35,640,539 | |
| -1 | -35,640,539 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,640,539.
Example:
1 x 35,640,539 = 35,640,539
and
-1 x -35,640,539 = 35,640,539
Notice both answers equal 35,640,539
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,640,539 and divide it by 2:
35,640,539 ÷ 2 = 17,820,269.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,820,269.5 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 | 35,640,539 | |
| -1 | -35,640,539 |
Now, we try dividing 35,640,539 by 3:
35,640,539 ÷ 3 = 11,880,179.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,880,179.6667 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 | 35,640,539 | |
| -1 | -35,640,539 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,640,539 ÷ 4 = 8,910,134.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,910,134.75 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 | 35,640,539 | |
| -1 | 35,640,539 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 113 | 541 | 583 | 1,243 | 5,951 | 5,989 | 28,673 | 61,133 | 65,879 | 315,403 | 672,463 | 3,240,049 | 35,640,539 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -113 | -541 | -583 | -1,243 | -5,951 | -5,989 | -28,673 | -61,133 | -65,879 | -315,403 | -672,463 | -3,240,049 | -35,640,539 |
