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 36,322,055, 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 | 36,322,055 | |
| -1 | -36,322,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,322,055.
Example:
1 x 36,322,055 = 36,322,055
and
-1 x -36,322,055 = 36,322,055
Notice both answers equal 36,322,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,322,055 and divide it by 2:
36,322,055 ÷ 2 = 18,161,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,161,027.5 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 | 36,322,055 | |
| -1 | -36,322,055 |
Now, we try dividing 36,322,055 by 3:
36,322,055 ÷ 3 = 12,107,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,107,351.6667 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 | 36,322,055 | |
| -1 | -36,322,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,322,055 ÷ 4 = 9,080,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,080,513.75 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 | 36,322,055 | |
| -1 | 36,322,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 94,343 | 471,715 | 660,401 | 1,037,773 | 3,302,005 | 5,188,865 | 7,264,411 | 36,322,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -94,343 | -471,715 | -660,401 | -1,037,773 | -3,302,005 | -5,188,865 | -7,264,411 | -36,322,055 |
