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 32,032,055, 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 | 32,032,055 | |
| -1 | -32,032,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,032,055.
Example:
1 x 32,032,055 = 32,032,055
and
-1 x -32,032,055 = 32,032,055
Notice both answers equal 32,032,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,032,055 and divide it by 2:
32,032,055 ÷ 2 = 16,016,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,016,027.5 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 | 32,032,055 | |
| -1 | -32,032,055 |
Now, we try dividing 32,032,055 by 3:
32,032,055 ÷ 3 = 10,677,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,677,351.6667 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 | 32,032,055 | |
| -1 | -32,032,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,032,055 ÷ 4 = 8,008,013.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,008,013.75 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 | 32,032,055 | |
| -1 | 32,032,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 107 | 535 | 1,177 | 5,443 | 5,885 | 27,215 | 59,873 | 299,365 | 582,401 | 2,912,005 | 6,406,411 | 32,032,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -107 | -535 | -1,177 | -5,443 | -5,885 | -27,215 | -59,873 | -299,365 | -582,401 | -2,912,005 | -6,406,411 | -32,032,055 |
