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 36,727,361, 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 | 36,727,361 | |
| -1 | -36,727,361 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,727,361.
Example:
1 x 36,727,361 = 36,727,361
and
-1 x -36,727,361 = 36,727,361
Notice both answers equal 36,727,361
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,727,361 and divide it by 2:
36,727,361 ÷ 2 = 18,363,680.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,363,680.5 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 | 36,727,361 | |
| -1 | -36,727,361 |
Now, we try dividing 36,727,361 by 3:
36,727,361 ÷ 3 = 12,242,453.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,242,453.6667 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 | 36,727,361 | |
| -1 | -36,727,361 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,727,361 ÷ 4 = 9,181,840.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,181,840.25 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 | 36,727,361 | |
| -1 | 36,727,361 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 19 | 187 | 209 | 323 | 3,553 | 10,337 | 113,707 | 175,729 | 196,403 | 1,933,019 | 2,160,433 | 3,338,851 | 36,727,361 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -19 | -187 | -209 | -323 | -3,553 | -10,337 | -113,707 | -175,729 | -196,403 | -1,933,019 | -2,160,433 | -3,338,851 | -36,727,361 |
