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 36,043,111, 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 | 36,043,111 | |
| -1 | -36,043,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,043,111.
Example:
1 x 36,043,111 = 36,043,111
and
-1 x -36,043,111 = 36,043,111
Notice both answers equal 36,043,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,043,111 and divide it by 2:
36,043,111 ÷ 2 = 18,021,555.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,021,555.5 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 | 36,043,111 | |
| -1 | -36,043,111 |
Now, we try dividing 36,043,111 by 3:
36,043,111 ÷ 3 = 12,014,370.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,014,370.3333 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 | 36,043,111 | |
| -1 | -36,043,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,043,111 ÷ 4 = 9,010,777.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,010,777.75 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 | 36,043,111 | |
| -1 | 36,043,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 31 | 221 | 403 | 527 | 5,261 | 6,851 | 68,393 | 89,437 | 163,091 | 1,162,681 | 2,120,183 | 2,772,547 | 36,043,111 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -31 | -221 | -403 | -527 | -5,261 | -6,851 | -68,393 | -89,437 | -163,091 | -1,162,681 | -2,120,183 | -2,772,547 | -36,043,111 |
