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 32,131,033, 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 | 32,131,033 | |
| -1 | -32,131,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,131,033.
Example:
1 x 32,131,033 = 32,131,033
and
-1 x -32,131,033 = 32,131,033
Notice both answers equal 32,131,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,131,033 and divide it by 2:
32,131,033 ÷ 2 = 16,065,516.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,065,516.5 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 | 32,131,033 | |
| -1 | -32,131,033 |
Now, we try dividing 32,131,033 by 3:
32,131,033 ÷ 3 = 10,710,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,710,344.3333 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 | 32,131,033 | |
| -1 | -32,131,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,131,033 ÷ 4 = 8,032,758.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,032,758.25 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 | 32,131,033 | |
| -1 | 32,131,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 47 | 209 | 517 | 893 | 3,271 | 9,823 | 35,981 | 62,149 | 153,737 | 683,639 | 1,691,107 | 2,921,003 | 32,131,033 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -47 | -209 | -517 | -893 | -3,271 | -9,823 | -35,981 | -62,149 | -153,737 | -683,639 | -1,691,107 | -2,921,003 | -32,131,033 |
