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 36,742,739, 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 | 36,742,739 | |
| -1 | -36,742,739 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,742,739.
Example:
1 x 36,742,739 = 36,742,739
and
-1 x -36,742,739 = 36,742,739
Notice both answers equal 36,742,739
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,742,739 and divide it by 2:
36,742,739 ÷ 2 = 18,371,369.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,371,369.5 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 | 36,742,739 | |
| -1 | -36,742,739 |
Now, we try dividing 36,742,739 by 3:
36,742,739 ÷ 3 = 12,247,579.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,247,579.6667 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 | 36,742,739 | |
| -1 | -36,742,739 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,742,739 ÷ 4 = 9,185,684.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,185,684.75 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 | 36,742,739 | |
| -1 | 36,742,739 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 37 | 121 | 283 | 319 | 407 | 1,073 | 3,113 | 3,509 | 4,477 | 8,207 | 10,471 | 11,803 | 34,243 | 90,277 | 115,181 | 129,833 | 303,659 | 993,047 | 1,266,991 | 3,340,249 | 36,742,739 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -37 | -121 | -283 | -319 | -407 | -1,073 | -3,113 | -3,509 | -4,477 | -8,207 | -10,471 | -11,803 | -34,243 | -90,277 | -115,181 | -129,833 | -303,659 | -993,047 | -1,266,991 | -3,340,249 | -36,742,739 |
