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 32,313,413, 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 | 32,313,413 | |
| -1 | -32,313,413 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,313,413.
Example:
1 x 32,313,413 = 32,313,413
and
-1 x -32,313,413 = 32,313,413
Notice both answers equal 32,313,413
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,313,413 and divide it by 2:
32,313,413 ÷ 2 = 16,156,706.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,156,706.5 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 | 32,313,413 | |
| -1 | -32,313,413 |
Now, we try dividing 32,313,413 by 3:
32,313,413 ÷ 3 = 10,771,137.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,771,137.6667 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 | 32,313,413 | |
| -1 | -32,313,413 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,313,413 ÷ 4 = 8,078,353.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,078,353.25 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 | 32,313,413 | |
| -1 | 32,313,413 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 121 | 187 | 253 | 391 | 683 | 2,057 | 2,783 | 4,301 | 7,513 | 11,611 | 15,709 | 47,311 | 82,643 | 127,721 | 172,799 | 267,053 | 1,404,931 | 1,900,789 | 2,937,583 | 32,313,413 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -121 | -187 | -253 | -391 | -683 | -2,057 | -2,783 | -4,301 | -7,513 | -11,611 | -15,709 | -47,311 | -82,643 | -127,721 | -172,799 | -267,053 | -1,404,931 | -1,900,789 | -2,937,583 | -32,313,413 |
