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 36,363,085, 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 | 36,363,085 | |
| -1 | -36,363,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,363,085.
Example:
1 x 36,363,085 = 36,363,085
and
-1 x -36,363,085 = 36,363,085
Notice both answers equal 36,363,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,363,085 and divide it by 2:
36,363,085 ÷ 2 = 18,181,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,181,542.5 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 | 36,363,085 | |
| -1 | -36,363,085 |
Now, we try dividing 36,363,085 by 3:
36,363,085 ÷ 3 = 12,121,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,121,028.3333 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 | 36,363,085 | |
| -1 | -36,363,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,363,085 ÷ 4 = 9,090,771.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,090,771.25 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 | 36,363,085 | |
| -1 | 36,363,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 935 | 38,891 | 194,455 | 427,801 | 661,147 | 2,139,005 | 3,305,735 | 7,272,617 | 36,363,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -935 | -38,891 | -194,455 | -427,801 | -661,147 | -2,139,005 | -3,305,735 | -7,272,617 | -36,363,085 |
