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 36,093,995, 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 | 36,093,995 | |
| -1 | -36,093,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,093,995.
Example:
1 x 36,093,995 = 36,093,995
and
-1 x -36,093,995 = 36,093,995
Notice both answers equal 36,093,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,093,995 and divide it by 2:
36,093,995 ÷ 2 = 18,046,997.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,046,997.5 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 | 36,093,995 | |
| -1 | -36,093,995 |
Now, we try dividing 36,093,995 by 3:
36,093,995 ÷ 3 = 12,031,331.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,031,331.6667 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 | 36,093,995 | |
| -1 | -36,093,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,093,995 ÷ 4 = 9,023,498.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,023,498.75 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 | 36,093,995 | |
| -1 | 36,093,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 461 | 2,237 | 2,305 | 3,227 | 11,185 | 15,659 | 16,135 | 78,295 | 1,031,257 | 5,156,285 | 7,218,799 | 36,093,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -461 | -2,237 | -2,305 | -3,227 | -11,185 | -15,659 | -16,135 | -78,295 | -1,031,257 | -5,156,285 | -7,218,799 | -36,093,995 |
