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 35,814,611, 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 | 35,814,611 | |
| -1 | -35,814,611 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,814,611.
Example:
1 x 35,814,611 = 35,814,611
and
-1 x -35,814,611 = 35,814,611
Notice both answers equal 35,814,611
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,814,611 and divide it by 2:
35,814,611 ÷ 2 = 17,907,305.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,907,305.5 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 | 35,814,611 | |
| -1 | -35,814,611 |
Now, we try dividing 35,814,611 by 3:
35,814,611 ÷ 3 = 11,938,203.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,938,203.6667 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 | 35,814,611 | |
| -1 | -35,814,611 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,814,611 ÷ 4 = 8,953,652.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,953,652.75 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 | 35,814,611 | |
| -1 | 35,814,611 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 47 | 161 | 329 | 1,081 | 4,733 | 7,567 | 33,131 | 108,859 | 222,451 | 762,013 | 1,557,157 | 5,116,373 | 35,814,611 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -47 | -161 | -329 | -1,081 | -4,733 | -7,567 | -33,131 | -108,859 | -222,451 | -762,013 | -1,557,157 | -5,116,373 | -35,814,611 |
