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 36,411,265, 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 | 36,411,265 | |
| -1 | -36,411,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,411,265.
Example:
1 x 36,411,265 = 36,411,265
and
-1 x -36,411,265 = 36,411,265
Notice both answers equal 36,411,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,411,265 and divide it by 2:
36,411,265 ÷ 2 = 18,205,632.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,205,632.5 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 | 36,411,265 | |
| -1 | -36,411,265 |
Now, we try dividing 36,411,265 by 3:
36,411,265 ÷ 3 = 12,137,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,137,088.3333 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 | 36,411,265 | |
| -1 | -36,411,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,411,265 ÷ 4 = 9,102,816.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,102,816.25 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 | 36,411,265 | |
| -1 | 36,411,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 2,915 | 12,491 | 62,455 | 137,401 | 662,023 | 687,005 | 3,310,115 | 7,282,253 | 36,411,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -2,915 | -12,491 | -62,455 | -137,401 | -662,023 | -687,005 | -3,310,115 | -7,282,253 | -36,411,265 |
