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 32,060,215, 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 | 32,060,215 | |
| -1 | -32,060,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,060,215.
Example:
1 x 32,060,215 = 32,060,215
and
-1 x -32,060,215 = 32,060,215
Notice both answers equal 32,060,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,060,215 and divide it by 2:
32,060,215 ÷ 2 = 16,030,107.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,030,107.5 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 | 32,060,215 | |
| -1 | -32,060,215 |
Now, we try dividing 32,060,215 by 3:
32,060,215 ÷ 3 = 10,686,738.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,686,738.3333 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 | 32,060,215 | |
| -1 | -32,060,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,060,215 ÷ 4 = 8,015,053.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,015,053.75 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 | 32,060,215 | |
| -1 | 32,060,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 289 | 935 | 1,445 | 2,017 | 3,179 | 10,085 | 15,895 | 22,187 | 34,289 | 110,935 | 171,445 | 377,179 | 582,913 | 1,885,895 | 2,914,565 | 6,412,043 | 32,060,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -289 | -935 | -1,445 | -2,017 | -3,179 | -10,085 | -15,895 | -22,187 | -34,289 | -110,935 | -171,445 | -377,179 | -582,913 | -1,885,895 | -2,914,565 | -6,412,043 | -32,060,215 |
