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 32,106,335, 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 | 32,106,335 | |
| -1 | -32,106,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,106,335.
Example:
1 x 32,106,335 = 32,106,335
and
-1 x -32,106,335 = 32,106,335
Notice both answers equal 32,106,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,106,335 and divide it by 2:
32,106,335 ÷ 2 = 16,053,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,053,167.5 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 | 32,106,335 | |
| -1 | -32,106,335 |
Now, we try dividing 32,106,335 by 3:
32,106,335 ÷ 3 = 10,702,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,702,111.6667 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 | 32,106,335 | |
| -1 | -32,106,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,106,335 ÷ 4 = 8,026,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,026,583.75 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 | 32,106,335 | |
| -1 | 32,106,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 179 | 895 | 1,237 | 5,191 | 6,185 | 25,955 | 35,873 | 179,365 | 221,423 | 1,107,115 | 6,421,267 | 32,106,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -179 | -895 | -1,237 | -5,191 | -6,185 | -25,955 | -35,873 | -179,365 | -221,423 | -1,107,115 | -6,421,267 | -32,106,335 |
