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 36,463,135, 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 | 36,463,135 | |
| -1 | -36,463,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,463,135.
Example:
1 x 36,463,135 = 36,463,135
and
-1 x -36,463,135 = 36,463,135
Notice both answers equal 36,463,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,463,135 and divide it by 2:
36,463,135 ÷ 2 = 18,231,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,231,567.5 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 | 36,463,135 | |
| -1 | -36,463,135 |
Now, we try dividing 36,463,135 by 3:
36,463,135 ÷ 3 = 12,154,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,154,378.3333 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 | 36,463,135 | |
| -1 | -36,463,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,463,135 ÷ 4 = 9,115,783.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,115,783.75 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 | 36,463,135 | |
| -1 | 36,463,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 73 | 283 | 353 | 365 | 1,415 | 1,765 | 20,659 | 25,769 | 99,899 | 103,295 | 128,845 | 499,495 | 7,292,627 | 36,463,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -73 | -283 | -353 | -365 | -1,415 | -1,765 | -20,659 | -25,769 | -99,899 | -103,295 | -128,845 | -499,495 | -7,292,627 | -36,463,135 |
