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 32,041,135, 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 | 32,041,135 | |
| -1 | -32,041,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,041,135.
Example:
1 x 32,041,135 = 32,041,135
and
-1 x -32,041,135 = 32,041,135
Notice both answers equal 32,041,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,041,135 and divide it by 2:
32,041,135 ÷ 2 = 16,020,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,020,567.5 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 | 32,041,135 | |
| -1 | -32,041,135 |
Now, we try dividing 32,041,135 by 3:
32,041,135 ÷ 3 = 10,680,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,680,378.3333 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 | 32,041,135 | |
| -1 | -32,041,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,041,135 ÷ 4 = 8,010,283.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,010,283.75 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 | 32,041,135 | |
| -1 | 32,041,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 29,531 | 147,655 | 206,717 | 915,461 | 1,033,585 | 4,577,305 | 6,408,227 | 32,041,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -29,531 | -147,655 | -206,717 | -915,461 | -1,033,585 | -4,577,305 | -6,408,227 | -32,041,135 |
