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 35,716,715, 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 | 35,716,715 | |
| -1 | -35,716,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,716,715.
Example:
1 x 35,716,715 = 35,716,715
and
-1 x -35,716,715 = 35,716,715
Notice both answers equal 35,716,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,716,715 and divide it by 2:
35,716,715 ÷ 2 = 17,858,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,858,357.5 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 | 35,716,715 | |
| -1 | -35,716,715 |
Now, we try dividing 35,716,715 by 3:
35,716,715 ÷ 3 = 11,905,571.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,905,571.6667 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 | 35,716,715 | |
| -1 | -35,716,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,716,715 ÷ 4 = 8,929,178.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,929,178.75 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 | 35,716,715 | |
| -1 | 35,716,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 157 | 173 | 263 | 785 | 865 | 1,315 | 27,161 | 41,291 | 45,499 | 135,805 | 206,455 | 227,495 | 7,143,343 | 35,716,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -157 | -173 | -263 | -785 | -865 | -1,315 | -27,161 | -41,291 | -45,499 | -135,805 | -206,455 | -227,495 | -7,143,343 | -35,716,715 |
