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 36,206,875, 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 | 36,206,875 | |
| -1 | -36,206,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,206,875.
Example:
1 x 36,206,875 = 36,206,875
and
-1 x -36,206,875 = 36,206,875
Notice both answers equal 36,206,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,206,875 and divide it by 2:
36,206,875 ÷ 2 = 18,103,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,103,437.5 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 | 36,206,875 | |
| -1 | -36,206,875 |
Now, we try dividing 36,206,875 by 3:
36,206,875 ÷ 3 = 12,068,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,068,958.3333 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 | 36,206,875 | |
| -1 | -36,206,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,206,875 ÷ 4 = 9,051,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,051,718.75 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 | 36,206,875 | |
| -1 | 36,206,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 475 | 625 | 2,375 | 3,049 | 11,875 | 15,245 | 57,931 | 76,225 | 289,655 | 381,125 | 1,448,275 | 1,905,625 | 7,241,375 | 36,206,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -475 | -625 | -2,375 | -3,049 | -11,875 | -15,245 | -57,931 | -76,225 | -289,655 | -381,125 | -1,448,275 | -1,905,625 | -7,241,375 | -36,206,875 |
