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 32,334,385, 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 | 32,334,385 | |
| -1 | -32,334,385 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,334,385.
Example:
1 x 32,334,385 = 32,334,385
and
-1 x -32,334,385 = 32,334,385
Notice both answers equal 32,334,385
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,334,385 and divide it by 2:
32,334,385 ÷ 2 = 16,167,192.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,167,192.5 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 | 32,334,385 | |
| -1 | -32,334,385 |
Now, we try dividing 32,334,385 by 3:
32,334,385 ÷ 3 = 10,778,128.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,778,128.3333 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 | 32,334,385 | |
| -1 | -32,334,385 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,334,385 ÷ 4 = 8,083,596.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,083,596.25 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 | 32,334,385 | |
| -1 | 32,334,385 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 113 | 151 | 379 | 565 | 755 | 1,895 | 17,063 | 42,827 | 57,229 | 85,315 | 214,135 | 286,145 | 6,466,877 | 32,334,385 |
| -1 | -5 | -113 | -151 | -379 | -565 | -755 | -1,895 | -17,063 | -42,827 | -57,229 | -85,315 | -214,135 | -286,145 | -6,466,877 | -32,334,385 |
