How do I find the factor combinations of the number 36,450,095?

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 36,450,095, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 36,450,095
-1 -36,450,095

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,450,095.

Example:
1 x 36,450,095 = 36,450,095
and
-1 x -36,450,095 = 36,450,095
Notice both answers equal 36,450,095

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,450,095 and divide it by 2:

36,450,095 ÷ 2 = 18,225,047.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,225,047.5 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 36,450,095
-1 -36,450,095

Now, we try dividing 36,450,095 by 3:

36,450,095 ÷ 3 = 12,150,031.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,150,031.6667 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 36,450,095
-1 -36,450,095

Let's try dividing by 4:

36,450,095 ÷ 4 = 9,112,523.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,112,523.75 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 36,450,095
-1 36,450,095
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1511551316551,4415,0597,20525,29555,649278,245662,7293,313,6457,290,01936,450,095
