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 32,059,165, 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 | 32,059,165 | |
| -1 | -32,059,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,059,165.
Example:
1 x 32,059,165 = 32,059,165
and
-1 x -32,059,165 = 32,059,165
Notice both answers equal 32,059,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,059,165 and divide it by 2:
32,059,165 ÷ 2 = 16,029,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,029,582.5 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 | 32,059,165 | |
| -1 | -32,059,165 |
Now, we try dividing 32,059,165 by 3:
32,059,165 ÷ 3 = 10,686,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,686,388.3333 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 | 32,059,165 | |
| -1 | -32,059,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,059,165 ÷ 4 = 8,014,791.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,014,791.25 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 | 32,059,165 | |
| -1 | 32,059,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 83 | 335 | 415 | 1,153 | 5,561 | 5,765 | 27,805 | 77,251 | 95,699 | 386,255 | 478,495 | 6,411,833 | 32,059,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -83 | -335 | -415 | -1,153 | -5,561 | -5,765 | -27,805 | -77,251 | -95,699 | -386,255 | -478,495 | -6,411,833 | -32,059,165 |
