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 35,883,685, 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 | 35,883,685 | |
| -1 | -35,883,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,883,685.
Example:
1 x 35,883,685 = 35,883,685
and
-1 x -35,883,685 = 35,883,685
Notice both answers equal 35,883,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,883,685 and divide it by 2:
35,883,685 ÷ 2 = 17,941,842.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,941,842.5 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 | 35,883,685 | |
| -1 | -35,883,685 |
Now, we try dividing 35,883,685 by 3:
35,883,685 ÷ 3 = 11,961,228.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,961,228.3333 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 | 35,883,685 | |
| -1 | -35,883,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,883,685 ÷ 4 = 8,970,921.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,970,921.25 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 | 35,883,685 | |
| -1 | 35,883,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 289 | 323 | 1,307 | 1,445 | 1,615 | 5,491 | 6,535 | 22,219 | 24,833 | 27,455 | 111,095 | 124,165 | 377,723 | 422,161 | 1,888,615 | 2,110,805 | 7,176,737 | 35,883,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -289 | -323 | -1,307 | -1,445 | -1,615 | -5,491 | -6,535 | -22,219 | -24,833 | -27,455 | -111,095 | -124,165 | -377,723 | -422,161 | -1,888,615 | -2,110,805 | -7,176,737 | -35,883,685 |
