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 36,533,765, 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 | 36,533,765 | |
| -1 | -36,533,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,533,765.
Example:
1 x 36,533,765 = 36,533,765
and
-1 x -36,533,765 = 36,533,765
Notice both answers equal 36,533,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,533,765 and divide it by 2:
36,533,765 ÷ 2 = 18,266,882.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,266,882.5 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 | 36,533,765 | |
| -1 | -36,533,765 |
Now, we try dividing 36,533,765 by 3:
36,533,765 ÷ 3 = 12,177,921.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,177,921.6667 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 | 36,533,765 | |
| -1 | -36,533,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,533,765 ÷ 4 = 9,133,441.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,133,441.25 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 | 36,533,765 | |
| -1 | 36,533,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 14,821 | 74,105 | 251,957 | 429,809 | 1,259,785 | 2,149,045 | 7,306,753 | 36,533,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -14,821 | -74,105 | -251,957 | -429,809 | -1,259,785 | -2,149,045 | -7,306,753 | -36,533,765 |
