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 36,305,455, 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 | 36,305,455 | |
| -1 | -36,305,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,305,455.
Example:
1 x 36,305,455 = 36,305,455
and
-1 x -36,305,455 = 36,305,455
Notice both answers equal 36,305,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,305,455 and divide it by 2:
36,305,455 ÷ 2 = 18,152,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,152,727.5 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 | 36,305,455 | |
| -1 | -36,305,455 |
Now, we try dividing 36,305,455 by 3:
36,305,455 ÷ 3 = 12,101,818.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,101,818.3333 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 | 36,305,455 | |
| -1 | -36,305,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,305,455 ÷ 4 = 9,076,363.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,076,363.75 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 | 36,305,455 | |
| -1 | 36,305,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 73 | 85 | 365 | 1,241 | 5,851 | 6,205 | 29,255 | 99,467 | 427,123 | 497,335 | 2,135,615 | 7,261,091 | 36,305,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -73 | -85 | -365 | -1,241 | -5,851 | -6,205 | -29,255 | -99,467 | -427,123 | -497,335 | -2,135,615 | -7,261,091 | -36,305,455 |
