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 36,323,045, 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 | 36,323,045 | |
| -1 | -36,323,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,323,045.
Example:
1 x 36,323,045 = 36,323,045
and
-1 x -36,323,045 = 36,323,045
Notice both answers equal 36,323,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,323,045 and divide it by 2:
36,323,045 ÷ 2 = 18,161,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,161,522.5 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 | 36,323,045 | |
| -1 | -36,323,045 |
Now, we try dividing 36,323,045 by 3:
36,323,045 ÷ 3 = 12,107,681.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,107,681.6667 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 | 36,323,045 | |
| -1 | -36,323,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,323,045 ÷ 4 = 9,080,761.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,080,761.25 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 | 36,323,045 | |
| -1 | 36,323,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 67 | 335 | 737 | 3,685 | 9,857 | 49,285 | 108,427 | 542,135 | 660,419 | 3,302,095 | 7,264,609 | 36,323,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -67 | -335 | -737 | -3,685 | -9,857 | -49,285 | -108,427 | -542,135 | -660,419 | -3,302,095 | -7,264,609 | -36,323,045 |
