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 32,322,305, 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 | 32,322,305 | |
| -1 | -32,322,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,322,305.
Example:
1 x 32,322,305 = 32,322,305
and
-1 x -32,322,305 = 32,322,305
Notice both answers equal 32,322,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,322,305 and divide it by 2:
32,322,305 ÷ 2 = 16,161,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,161,152.5 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 | 32,322,305 | |
| -1 | -32,322,305 |
Now, we try dividing 32,322,305 by 3:
32,322,305 ÷ 3 = 10,774,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,774,101.6667 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 | 32,322,305 | |
| -1 | -32,322,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,322,305 ÷ 4 = 8,080,576.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,080,576.25 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 | 32,322,305 | |
| -1 | 32,322,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 151 | 155 | 755 | 1,381 | 4,681 | 6,905 | 23,405 | 42,811 | 208,531 | 214,055 | 1,042,655 | 6,464,461 | 32,322,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -151 | -155 | -755 | -1,381 | -4,681 | -6,905 | -23,405 | -42,811 | -208,531 | -214,055 | -1,042,655 | -6,464,461 | -32,322,305 |
