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 36,351,799, 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 | 36,351,799 | |
| -1 | -36,351,799 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,351,799.
Example:
1 x 36,351,799 = 36,351,799
and
-1 x -36,351,799 = 36,351,799
Notice both answers equal 36,351,799
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,351,799 and divide it by 2:
36,351,799 ÷ 2 = 18,175,899.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,175,899.5 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 | 36,351,799 | |
| -1 | -36,351,799 |
Now, we try dividing 36,351,799 by 3:
36,351,799 ÷ 3 = 12,117,266.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,117,266.3333 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 | 36,351,799 | |
| -1 | -36,351,799 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,351,799 ÷ 4 = 9,087,949.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,087,949.75 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 | 36,351,799 | |
| -1 | 36,351,799 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 53 | 253 | 583 | 1,219 | 2,711 | 13,409 | 29,821 | 62,353 | 143,683 | 685,883 | 1,580,513 | 3,304,709 | 36,351,799 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -53 | -253 | -583 | -1,219 | -2,711 | -13,409 | -29,821 | -62,353 | -143,683 | -685,883 | -1,580,513 | -3,304,709 | -36,351,799 |
