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 36,023,335, 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 | 36,023,335 | |
| -1 | -36,023,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,023,335.
Example:
1 x 36,023,335 = 36,023,335
and
-1 x -36,023,335 = 36,023,335
Notice both answers equal 36,023,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,023,335 and divide it by 2:
36,023,335 ÷ 2 = 18,011,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,011,667.5 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 | 36,023,335 | |
| -1 | -36,023,335 |
Now, we try dividing 36,023,335 by 3:
36,023,335 ÷ 3 = 12,007,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,007,778.3333 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 | 36,023,335 | |
| -1 | -36,023,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,023,335 ÷ 4 = 9,005,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,005,833.75 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 | 36,023,335 | |
| -1 | 36,023,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 59 | 95 | 295 | 1,121 | 5,605 | 6,427 | 32,135 | 122,113 | 379,193 | 610,565 | 1,895,965 | 7,204,667 | 36,023,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -59 | -95 | -295 | -1,121 | -5,605 | -6,427 | -32,135 | -122,113 | -379,193 | -610,565 | -1,895,965 | -7,204,667 | -36,023,335 |
