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 32,323,027, 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 | 32,323,027 | |
| -1 | -32,323,027 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,323,027.
Example:
1 x 32,323,027 = 32,323,027
and
-1 x -32,323,027 = 32,323,027
Notice both answers equal 32,323,027
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,323,027 and divide it by 2:
32,323,027 ÷ 2 = 16,161,513.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,161,513.5 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 | 32,323,027 | |
| -1 | -32,323,027 |
Now, we try dividing 32,323,027 by 3:
32,323,027 ÷ 3 = 10,774,342.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,774,342.3333 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 | 32,323,027 | |
| -1 | -32,323,027 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,323,027 ÷ 4 = 8,080,756.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,080,756.75 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 | 32,323,027 | |
| -1 | 32,323,027 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 251 | 253 | 509 | 2,761 | 5,599 | 5,773 | 11,707 | 63,503 | 127,759 | 128,777 | 1,405,349 | 2,938,457 | 32,323,027 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -251 | -253 | -509 | -2,761 | -5,599 | -5,773 | -11,707 | -63,503 | -127,759 | -128,777 | -1,405,349 | -2,938,457 | -32,323,027 |
