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 32,211,403, 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 | 32,211,403 | |
| -1 | -32,211,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,211,403.
Example:
1 x 32,211,403 = 32,211,403
and
-1 x -32,211,403 = 32,211,403
Notice both answers equal 32,211,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,211,403 and divide it by 2:
32,211,403 ÷ 2 = 16,105,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,105,701.5 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 | 32,211,403 | |
| -1 | -32,211,403 |
Now, we try dividing 32,211,403 by 3:
32,211,403 ÷ 3 = 10,737,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,737,134.3333 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 | 32,211,403 | |
| -1 | -32,211,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,211,403 ÷ 4 = 8,052,850.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,052,850.75 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 | 32,211,403 | |
| -1 | 32,211,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 47 | 133 | 329 | 893 | 5,153 | 6,251 | 36,071 | 97,907 | 242,191 | 685,349 | 1,695,337 | 4,601,629 | 32,211,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -47 | -133 | -329 | -893 | -5,153 | -6,251 | -36,071 | -97,907 | -242,191 | -685,349 | -1,695,337 | -4,601,629 | -32,211,403 |
