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 35,848,087, 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 | 35,848,087 | |
| -1 | -35,848,087 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,848,087.
Example:
1 x 35,848,087 = 35,848,087
and
-1 x -35,848,087 = 35,848,087
Notice both answers equal 35,848,087
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,848,087 and divide it by 2:
35,848,087 ÷ 2 = 17,924,043.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,924,043.5 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 | 35,848,087 | |
| -1 | -35,848,087 |
Now, we try dividing 35,848,087 by 3:
35,848,087 ÷ 3 = 11,949,362.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,949,362.3333 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 | 35,848,087 | |
| -1 | -35,848,087 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,848,087 ÷ 4 = 8,962,021.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,962,021.75 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 | 35,848,087 | |
| -1 | 35,848,087 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 53 | 187 | 583 | 901 | 3,617 | 9,911 | 39,787 | 61,489 | 191,701 | 676,379 | 2,108,711 | 3,258,917 | 35,848,087 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -53 | -187 | -583 | -901 | -3,617 | -9,911 | -39,787 | -61,489 | -191,701 | -676,379 | -2,108,711 | -3,258,917 | -35,848,087 |
