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 32,310,013, 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 | 32,310,013 | |
| -1 | -32,310,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,310,013.
Example:
1 x 32,310,013 = 32,310,013
and
-1 x -32,310,013 = 32,310,013
Notice both answers equal 32,310,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,310,013 and divide it by 2:
32,310,013 ÷ 2 = 16,155,006.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,155,006.5 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 | 32,310,013 | |
| -1 | -32,310,013 |
Now, we try dividing 32,310,013 by 3:
32,310,013 ÷ 3 = 10,770,004.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,770,004.3333 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 | 32,310,013 | |
| -1 | -32,310,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,310,013 ÷ 4 = 8,077,503.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,077,503.25 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 | 32,310,013 | |
| -1 | 32,310,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 67 | 323 | 1,139 | 1,273 | 1,493 | 21,641 | 25,381 | 28,367 | 100,031 | 482,239 | 1,700,527 | 1,900,589 | 32,310,013 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -67 | -323 | -1,139 | -1,273 | -1,493 | -21,641 | -25,381 | -28,367 | -100,031 | -482,239 | -1,700,527 | -1,900,589 | -32,310,013 |
