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 35,846,293, 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 | 35,846,293 | |
| -1 | -35,846,293 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,846,293.
Example:
1 x 35,846,293 = 35,846,293
and
-1 x -35,846,293 = 35,846,293
Notice both answers equal 35,846,293
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,846,293 and divide it by 2:
35,846,293 ÷ 2 = 17,923,146.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,923,146.5 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 | 35,846,293 | |
| -1 | -35,846,293 |
Now, we try dividing 35,846,293 by 3:
35,846,293 ÷ 3 = 11,948,764.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,948,764.3333 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 | 35,846,293 | |
| -1 | -35,846,293 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,846,293 ÷ 4 = 8,961,573.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,961,573.25 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 | 35,846,293 | |
| -1 | 35,846,293 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 133 | 139 | 277 | 931 | 973 | 1,939 | 2,641 | 5,263 | 6,811 | 13,573 | 18,487 | 36,841 | 38,503 | 129,409 | 257,887 | 269,521 | 731,557 | 1,886,647 | 5,120,899 | 35,846,293 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -133 | -139 | -277 | -931 | -973 | -1,939 | -2,641 | -5,263 | -6,811 | -13,573 | -18,487 | -36,841 | -38,503 | -129,409 | -257,887 | -269,521 | -731,557 | -1,886,647 | -5,120,899 | -35,846,293 |
