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 36,748,195, 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 | 36,748,195 | |
| -1 | -36,748,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,748,195.
Example:
1 x 36,748,195 = 36,748,195
and
-1 x -36,748,195 = 36,748,195
Notice both answers equal 36,748,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,748,195 and divide it by 2:
36,748,195 ÷ 2 = 18,374,097.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,374,097.5 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 | 36,748,195 | |
| -1 | -36,748,195 |
Now, we try dividing 36,748,195 by 3:
36,748,195 ÷ 3 = 12,249,398.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,249,398.3333 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 | 36,748,195 | |
| -1 | -36,748,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,748,195 ÷ 4 = 9,187,048.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,187,048.75 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 | 36,748,195 | |
| -1 | 36,748,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 137 | 685 | 1,507 | 4,877 | 7,535 | 24,385 | 53,647 | 268,235 | 668,149 | 3,340,745 | 7,349,639 | 36,748,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -137 | -685 | -1,507 | -4,877 | -7,535 | -24,385 | -53,647 | -268,235 | -668,149 | -3,340,745 | -7,349,639 | -36,748,195 |
