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 36,069,359, 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 | 36,069,359 | |
| -1 | -36,069,359 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,069,359.
Example:
1 x 36,069,359 = 36,069,359
and
-1 x -36,069,359 = 36,069,359
Notice both answers equal 36,069,359
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,069,359 and divide it by 2:
36,069,359 ÷ 2 = 18,034,679.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,034,679.5 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 | 36,069,359 | |
| -1 | -36,069,359 |
Now, we try dividing 36,069,359 by 3:
36,069,359 ÷ 3 = 12,023,119.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,023,119.6667 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 | 36,069,359 | |
| -1 | -36,069,359 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,069,359 ÷ 4 = 9,017,339.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,017,339.75 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 | 36,069,359 | |
| -1 | 36,069,359 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 29 | 391 | 493 | 667 | 3,181 | 11,339 | 54,077 | 73,163 | 92,249 | 1,243,771 | 1,568,233 | 2,121,727 | 36,069,359 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -29 | -391 | -493 | -667 | -3,181 | -11,339 | -54,077 | -73,163 | -92,249 | -1,243,771 | -1,568,233 | -2,121,727 | -36,069,359 |
