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 32,302,205, 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 | 32,302,205 | |
| -1 | -32,302,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,302,205.
Example:
1 x 32,302,205 = 32,302,205
and
-1 x -32,302,205 = 32,302,205
Notice both answers equal 32,302,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,302,205 and divide it by 2:
32,302,205 ÷ 2 = 16,151,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,151,102.5 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 | 32,302,205 | |
| -1 | -32,302,205 |
Now, we try dividing 32,302,205 by 3:
32,302,205 ÷ 3 = 10,767,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,767,401.6667 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 | 32,302,205 | |
| -1 | -32,302,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,302,205 ÷ 4 = 8,075,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,075,551.25 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 | 32,302,205 | |
| -1 | 32,302,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 3,835 | 8,423 | 42,115 | 109,499 | 496,957 | 547,495 | 2,484,785 | 6,460,441 | 32,302,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -3,835 | -8,423 | -42,115 | -109,499 | -496,957 | -547,495 | -2,484,785 | -6,460,441 | -32,302,205 |
