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 36,557,773, 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 | 36,557,773 | |
| -1 | -36,557,773 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,557,773.
Example:
1 x 36,557,773 = 36,557,773
and
-1 x -36,557,773 = 36,557,773
Notice both answers equal 36,557,773
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,557,773 and divide it by 2:
36,557,773 ÷ 2 = 18,278,886.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,278,886.5 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 | 36,557,773 | |
| -1 | -36,557,773 |
Now, we try dividing 36,557,773 by 3:
36,557,773 ÷ 3 = 12,185,924.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,185,924.3333 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 | 36,557,773 | |
| -1 | -36,557,773 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,557,773 ÷ 4 = 9,139,443.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,139,443.25 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 | 36,557,773 | |
| -1 | 36,557,773 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 41 | 49 | 217 | 287 | 587 | 1,271 | 1,519 | 2,009 | 4,109 | 8,897 | 18,197 | 24,067 | 28,763 | 62,279 | 127,379 | 168,469 | 746,077 | 891,653 | 1,179,283 | 5,222,539 | 36,557,773 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -41 | -49 | -217 | -287 | -587 | -1,271 | -1,519 | -2,009 | -4,109 | -8,897 | -18,197 | -24,067 | -28,763 | -62,279 | -127,379 | -168,469 | -746,077 | -891,653 | -1,179,283 | -5,222,539 | -36,557,773 |
