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 31,798,675, 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 | 31,798,675 | |
| -1 | -31,798,675 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 31,798,675.
Example:
1 x 31,798,675 = 31,798,675
and
-1 x -31,798,675 = 31,798,675
Notice both answers equal 31,798,675
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 31,798,675 and divide it by 2:
31,798,675 ÷ 2 = 15,899,337.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 15,899,337.5 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 | 31,798,675 | |
| -1 | -31,798,675 |
Now, we try dividing 31,798,675 by 3:
31,798,675 ÷ 3 = 10,599,558.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,599,558.3333 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 | 31,798,675 | |
| -1 | -31,798,675 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
31,798,675 ÷ 4 = 7,949,668.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 7,949,668.75 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 | 31,798,675 | |
| -1 | 31,798,675 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 53 | 103 | 233 | 265 | 515 | 1,165 | 1,325 | 2,575 | 5,459 | 5,825 | 12,349 | 23,999 | 27,295 | 61,745 | 119,995 | 136,475 | 308,725 | 599,975 | 1,271,947 | 6,359,735 | 31,798,675 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -53 | -103 | -233 | -265 | -515 | -1,165 | -1,325 | -2,575 | -5,459 | -5,825 | -12,349 | -23,999 | -27,295 | -61,745 | -119,995 | -136,475 | -308,725 | -599,975 | -1,271,947 | -6,359,735 | -31,798,675 |
