How do I find the factor combinations of the number 36,092,665?

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 36,092,665, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 36,092,665
-1 -36,092,665

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,092,665.

Example:
1 x 36,092,665 = 36,092,665
and
-1 x -36,092,665 = 36,092,665
Notice both answers equal 36,092,665

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,092,665 and divide it by 2:

36,092,665 ÷ 2 = 18,046,332.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,046,332.5 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 36,092,665
-1 -36,092,665

Now, we try dividing 36,092,665 by 3:

36,092,665 ÷ 3 = 12,030,888.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,030,888.3333 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 36,092,665
-1 -36,092,665

Let's try dividing by 4:

36,092,665 ÷ 4 = 9,023,166.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,023,166.25 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 36,092,665
-1 36,092,665
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

15735491792458238951,2534,1155,7616,2658,77128,80540,32743,855147,317201,635736,5851,031,2195,156,0957,218,53336,092,665
