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 35,703,565, 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 | 35,703,565 | |
| -1 | -35,703,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,703,565.
Example:
1 x 35,703,565 = 35,703,565
and
-1 x -35,703,565 = 35,703,565
Notice both answers equal 35,703,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,703,565 and divide it by 2:
35,703,565 ÷ 2 = 17,851,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,851,782.5 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 | 35,703,565 | |
| -1 | -35,703,565 |
Now, we try dividing 35,703,565 by 3:
35,703,565 ÷ 3 = 11,901,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,901,188.3333 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 | 35,703,565 | |
| -1 | -35,703,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,703,565 ÷ 4 = 8,925,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,925,891.25 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 | 35,703,565 | |
| -1 | 35,703,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 263 | 1,315 | 1,429 | 4,997 | 7,145 | 24,985 | 27,151 | 135,755 | 375,827 | 1,879,135 | 7,140,713 | 35,703,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -263 | -1,315 | -1,429 | -4,997 | -7,145 | -24,985 | -27,151 | -135,755 | -375,827 | -1,879,135 | -7,140,713 | -35,703,565 |
