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 32,243,345, 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 | 32,243,345 | |
| -1 | -32,243,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,243,345.
Example:
1 x 32,243,345 = 32,243,345
and
-1 x -32,243,345 = 32,243,345
Notice both answers equal 32,243,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,243,345 and divide it by 2:
32,243,345 ÷ 2 = 16,121,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,121,672.5 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 | 32,243,345 | |
| -1 | -32,243,345 |
Now, we try dividing 32,243,345 by 3:
32,243,345 ÷ 3 = 10,747,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,747,781.6667 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 | 32,243,345 | |
| -1 | -32,243,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,243,345 ÷ 4 = 8,060,836.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,060,836.25 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 | 32,243,345 | |
| -1 | 32,243,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 265 | 281 | 433 | 1,405 | 2,165 | 14,893 | 22,949 | 74,465 | 114,745 | 121,673 | 608,365 | 6,448,669 | 32,243,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -265 | -281 | -433 | -1,405 | -2,165 | -14,893 | -22,949 | -74,465 | -114,745 | -121,673 | -608,365 | -6,448,669 | -32,243,345 |
