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 32,305,435, 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 | 32,305,435 | |
| -1 | -32,305,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,305,435.
Example:
1 x 32,305,435 = 32,305,435
and
-1 x -32,305,435 = 32,305,435
Notice both answers equal 32,305,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,305,435 and divide it by 2:
32,305,435 ÷ 2 = 16,152,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,152,717.5 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 | 32,305,435 | |
| -1 | -32,305,435 |
Now, we try dividing 32,305,435 by 3:
32,305,435 ÷ 3 = 10,768,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,768,478.3333 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 | 32,305,435 | |
| -1 | -32,305,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,305,435 ÷ 4 = 8,076,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,076,358.75 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 | 32,305,435 | |
| -1 | 32,305,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 103 | 149 | 421 | 515 | 745 | 2,105 | 15,347 | 43,363 | 62,729 | 76,735 | 216,815 | 313,645 | 6,461,087 | 32,305,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -103 | -149 | -421 | -515 | -745 | -2,105 | -15,347 | -43,363 | -62,729 | -76,735 | -216,815 | -313,645 | -6,461,087 | -32,305,435 |
