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 32,006,165, 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 | 32,006,165 | |
| -1 | -32,006,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,006,165.
Example:
1 x 32,006,165 = 32,006,165
and
-1 x -32,006,165 = 32,006,165
Notice both answers equal 32,006,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,006,165 and divide it by 2:
32,006,165 ÷ 2 = 16,003,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,003,082.5 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 | 32,006,165 | |
| -1 | -32,006,165 |
Now, we try dividing 32,006,165 by 3:
32,006,165 ÷ 3 = 10,668,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,668,721.6667 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 | 32,006,165 | |
| -1 | -32,006,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,006,165 ÷ 4 = 8,001,541.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,001,541.25 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 | 32,006,165 | |
| -1 | 32,006,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 199 | 995 | 1,693 | 3,781 | 8,465 | 18,905 | 32,167 | 160,835 | 336,907 | 1,684,535 | 6,401,233 | 32,006,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -199 | -995 | -1,693 | -3,781 | -8,465 | -18,905 | -32,167 | -160,835 | -336,907 | -1,684,535 | -6,401,233 | -32,006,165 |
