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 36,253,615, 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 | 36,253,615 | |
| -1 | -36,253,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,253,615.
Example:
1 x 36,253,615 = 36,253,615
and
-1 x -36,253,615 = 36,253,615
Notice both answers equal 36,253,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,253,615 and divide it by 2:
36,253,615 ÷ 2 = 18,126,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,126,807.5 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 | 36,253,615 | |
| -1 | -36,253,615 |
Now, we try dividing 36,253,615 by 3:
36,253,615 ÷ 3 = 12,084,538.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,084,538.3333 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 | 36,253,615 | |
| -1 | -36,253,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,253,615 ÷ 4 = 9,063,403.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,063,403.75 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 | 36,253,615 | |
| -1 | 36,253,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 359 | 1,063 | 1,795 | 5,315 | 6,821 | 20,197 | 34,105 | 100,985 | 381,617 | 1,908,085 | 7,250,723 | 36,253,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -359 | -1,063 | -1,795 | -5,315 | -6,821 | -20,197 | -34,105 | -100,985 | -381,617 | -1,908,085 | -7,250,723 | -36,253,615 |
