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 32,210,311, 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 | 32,210,311 | |
| -1 | -32,210,311 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,210,311.
Example:
1 x 32,210,311 = 32,210,311
and
-1 x -32,210,311 = 32,210,311
Notice both answers equal 32,210,311
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,210,311 and divide it by 2:
32,210,311 ÷ 2 = 16,105,155.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,105,155.5 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 | 32,210,311 | |
| -1 | -32,210,311 |
Now, we try dividing 32,210,311 by 3:
32,210,311 ÷ 3 = 10,736,770.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,736,770.3333 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 | 32,210,311 | |
| -1 | -32,210,311 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,210,311 ÷ 4 = 8,052,577.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,052,577.75 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 | 32,210,311 | |
| -1 | 32,210,311 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 113 | 301 | 791 | 947 | 4,859 | 6,629 | 34,013 | 40,721 | 107,011 | 285,047 | 749,077 | 4,601,473 | 32,210,311 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -113 | -301 | -791 | -947 | -4,859 | -6,629 | -34,013 | -40,721 | -107,011 | -285,047 | -749,077 | -4,601,473 | -32,210,311 |
