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 38,085,593, 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 | 38,085,593 | |
| -1 | -38,085,593 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 38,085,593.
Example:
1 x 38,085,593 = 38,085,593
and
-1 x -38,085,593 = 38,085,593
Notice both answers equal 38,085,593
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 38,085,593 and divide it by 2:
38,085,593 ÷ 2 = 19,042,796.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 19,042,796.5 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 | 38,085,593 | |
| -1 | -38,085,593 |
Now, we try dividing 38,085,593 by 3:
38,085,593 ÷ 3 = 12,695,197.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,695,197.6667 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 | 38,085,593 | |
| -1 | -38,085,593 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
38,085,593 ÷ 4 = 9,521,398.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,521,398.25 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 | 38,085,593 | |
| -1 | 38,085,593 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 17 | 49 | 91 | 119 | 221 | 637 | 833 | 1,547 | 3,517 | 10,829 | 24,619 | 45,721 | 59,789 | 172,333 | 320,047 | 418,523 | 777,257 | 2,240,329 | 2,929,661 | 5,440,799 | 38,085,593 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -17 | -49 | -91 | -119 | -221 | -637 | -833 | -1,547 | -3,517 | -10,829 | -24,619 | -45,721 | -59,789 | -172,333 | -320,047 | -418,523 | -777,257 | -2,240,329 | -2,929,661 | -5,440,799 | -38,085,593 |
