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 35,703,563, 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 | 35,703,563 | |
| -1 | -35,703,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,703,563.
Example:
1 x 35,703,563 = 35,703,563
and
-1 x -35,703,563 = 35,703,563
Notice both answers equal 35,703,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,703,563 and divide it by 2:
35,703,563 ÷ 2 = 17,851,781.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,851,781.5 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 | 35,703,563 | |
| -1 | -35,703,563 |
Now, we try dividing 35,703,563 by 3:
35,703,563 ÷ 3 = 11,901,187.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,901,187.6667 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 | 35,703,563 | |
| -1 | -35,703,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,703,563 ÷ 4 = 8,925,890.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,925,890.75 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 | 35,703,563 | |
| -1 | 35,703,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 67 | 269 | 283 | 469 | 1,883 | 1,981 | 18,023 | 18,961 | 76,127 | 126,161 | 132,727 | 532,889 | 5,100,509 | 35,703,563 |
| -1 | -7 | -67 | -269 | -283 | -469 | -1,883 | -1,981 | -18,023 | -18,961 | -76,127 | -126,161 | -132,727 | -532,889 | -5,100,509 | -35,703,563 |
