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 36,545,621, 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 | 36,545,621 | |
| -1 | -36,545,621 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,545,621.
Example:
1 x 36,545,621 = 36,545,621
and
-1 x -36,545,621 = 36,545,621
Notice both answers equal 36,545,621
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,545,621 and divide it by 2:
36,545,621 ÷ 2 = 18,272,810.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,272,810.5 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 | 36,545,621 | |
| -1 | -36,545,621 |
Now, we try dividing 36,545,621 by 3:
36,545,621 ÷ 3 = 12,181,873.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,181,873.6667 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 | 36,545,621 | |
| -1 | -36,545,621 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,545,621 ÷ 4 = 9,136,405.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,136,405.25 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 | 36,545,621 | |
| -1 | 36,545,621 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 49 | 217 | 343 | 491 | 1,519 | 2,401 | 3,437 | 10,633 | 15,221 | 24,059 | 74,431 | 106,547 | 168,413 | 745,829 | 1,178,891 | 5,220,803 | 36,545,621 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -49 | -217 | -343 | -491 | -1,519 | -2,401 | -3,437 | -10,633 | -15,221 | -24,059 | -74,431 | -106,547 | -168,413 | -745,829 | -1,178,891 | -5,220,803 | -36,545,621 |
