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 36,760,735, 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 | 36,760,735 | |
| -1 | -36,760,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,760,735.
Example:
1 x 36,760,735 = 36,760,735
and
-1 x -36,760,735 = 36,760,735
Notice both answers equal 36,760,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,760,735 and divide it by 2:
36,760,735 ÷ 2 = 18,380,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,380,367.5 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 | 36,760,735 | |
| -1 | -36,760,735 |
Now, we try dividing 36,760,735 by 3:
36,760,735 ÷ 3 = 12,253,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,253,578.3333 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 | 36,760,735 | |
| -1 | -36,760,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,760,735 ÷ 4 = 9,190,183.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,190,183.75 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 | 36,760,735 | |
| -1 | 36,760,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 61 | 305 | 671 | 3,355 | 10,957 | 54,785 | 120,527 | 602,635 | 668,377 | 3,341,885 | 7,352,147 | 36,760,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -61 | -305 | -671 | -3,355 | -10,957 | -54,785 | -120,527 | -602,635 | -668,377 | -3,341,885 | -7,352,147 | -36,760,735 |
