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 36,651,437, 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 | 36,651,437 | |
| -1 | -36,651,437 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,651,437.
Example:
1 x 36,651,437 = 36,651,437
and
-1 x -36,651,437 = 36,651,437
Notice both answers equal 36,651,437
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,651,437 and divide it by 2:
36,651,437 ÷ 2 = 18,325,718.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,325,718.5 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 | 36,651,437 | |
| -1 | -36,651,437 |
Now, we try dividing 36,651,437 by 3:
36,651,437 ÷ 3 = 12,217,145.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,217,145.6667 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 | 36,651,437 | |
| -1 | -36,651,437 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,651,437 ÷ 4 = 9,162,859.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,162,859.25 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 | 36,651,437 | |
| -1 | 36,651,437 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 43 | 113 | 397 | 817 | 2,147 | 4,859 | 7,543 | 17,071 | 44,861 | 92,321 | 324,349 | 852,359 | 1,929,023 | 36,651,437 |
| -1 | -19 | -43 | -113 | -397 | -817 | -2,147 | -4,859 | -7,543 | -17,071 | -44,861 | -92,321 | -324,349 | -852,359 | -1,929,023 | -36,651,437 |
