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 36,133,307, 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 | 36,133,307 | |
| -1 | -36,133,307 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,133,307.
Example:
1 x 36,133,307 = 36,133,307
and
-1 x -36,133,307 = 36,133,307
Notice both answers equal 36,133,307
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,133,307 and divide it by 2:
36,133,307 ÷ 2 = 18,066,653.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,066,653.5 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 | 36,133,307 | |
| -1 | -36,133,307 |
Now, we try dividing 36,133,307 by 3:
36,133,307 ÷ 3 = 12,044,435.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,044,435.6667 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 | 36,133,307 | |
| -1 | -36,133,307 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,133,307 ÷ 4 = 9,033,326.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,033,326.75 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 | 36,133,307 | |
| -1 | 36,133,307 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 263 | 1,033 | 1,841 | 4,997 | 7,231 | 19,627 | 34,979 | 137,389 | 271,679 | 1,901,753 | 5,161,901 | 36,133,307 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -263 | -1,033 | -1,841 | -4,997 | -7,231 | -19,627 | -34,979 | -137,389 | -271,679 | -1,901,753 | -5,161,901 | -36,133,307 |
