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 35,656,141, 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 | 35,656,141 | |
| -1 | -35,656,141 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,656,141.
Example:
1 x 35,656,141 = 35,656,141
and
-1 x -35,656,141 = 35,656,141
Notice both answers equal 35,656,141
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,656,141 and divide it by 2:
35,656,141 ÷ 2 = 17,828,070.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,828,070.5 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 | 35,656,141 | |
| -1 | -35,656,141 |
Now, we try dividing 35,656,141 by 3:
35,656,141 ÷ 3 = 11,885,380.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,885,380.3333 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 | 35,656,141 | |
| -1 | -35,656,141 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,656,141 ÷ 4 = 8,914,035.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,914,035.25 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 | 35,656,141 | |
| -1 | 35,656,141 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 139 | 437 | 587 | 2,641 | 3,197 | 11,153 | 13,501 | 60,743 | 81,593 | 256,519 | 1,550,267 | 1,876,639 | 35,656,141 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -139 | -437 | -587 | -2,641 | -3,197 | -11,153 | -13,501 | -60,743 | -81,593 | -256,519 | -1,550,267 | -1,876,639 | -35,656,141 |
