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 35,883,701, 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 | 35,883,701 | |
| -1 | -35,883,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 35,883,701.
Example:
1 x 35,883,701 = 35,883,701
and
-1 x -35,883,701 = 35,883,701
Notice both answers equal 35,883,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 35,883,701 and divide it by 2:
35,883,701 ÷ 2 = 17,941,850.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 17,941,850.5 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 | 35,883,701 | |
| -1 | -35,883,701 |
Now, we try dividing 35,883,701 by 3:
35,883,701 ÷ 3 = 11,961,233.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,961,233.6667 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 | 35,883,701 | |
| -1 | -35,883,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
35,883,701 ÷ 4 = 8,970,925.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,970,925.25 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 | 35,883,701 | |
| -1 | 35,883,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 47 | 203 | 329 | 1,363 | 3,761 | 9,541 | 26,327 | 109,069 | 176,767 | 763,483 | 1,237,369 | 5,126,243 | 35,883,701 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -47 | -203 | -329 | -1,363 | -3,761 | -9,541 | -26,327 | -109,069 | -176,767 | -763,483 | -1,237,369 | -5,126,243 | -35,883,701 |
