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 35,828,605, 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 | 35,828,605 | |
| -1 | -35,828,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,828,605.
Example:
1 x 35,828,605 = 35,828,605
and
-1 x -35,828,605 = 35,828,605
Notice both answers equal 35,828,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,828,605 and divide it by 2:
35,828,605 ÷ 2 = 17,914,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,914,302.5 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 | 35,828,605 | |
| -1 | -35,828,605 |
Now, we try dividing 35,828,605 by 3:
35,828,605 ÷ 3 = 11,942,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,942,868.3333 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 | 35,828,605 | |
| -1 | -35,828,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,828,605 ÷ 4 = 8,957,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,957,151.25 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 | 35,828,605 | |
| -1 | 35,828,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 127 | 635 | 2,159 | 3,319 | 10,795 | 16,595 | 56,423 | 282,115 | 421,513 | 2,107,565 | 7,165,721 | 35,828,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -127 | -635 | -2,159 | -3,319 | -10,795 | -16,595 | -56,423 | -282,115 | -421,513 | -2,107,565 | -7,165,721 | -35,828,605 |
