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 32,339,311, 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 | 32,339,311 | |
| -1 | -32,339,311 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,339,311.
Example:
1 x 32,339,311 = 32,339,311
and
-1 x -32,339,311 = 32,339,311
Notice both answers equal 32,339,311
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,339,311 and divide it by 2:
32,339,311 ÷ 2 = 16,169,655.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,169,655.5 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 | 32,339,311 | |
| -1 | -32,339,311 |
Now, we try dividing 32,339,311 by 3:
32,339,311 ÷ 3 = 10,779,770.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,779,770.3333 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 | 32,339,311 | |
| -1 | -32,339,311 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,339,311 ÷ 4 = 8,084,827.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,084,827.75 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 | 32,339,311 | |
| -1 | 32,339,311 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 43 | 437 | 817 | 989 | 1,721 | 18,791 | 32,699 | 39,583 | 74,003 | 752,077 | 1,406,057 | 1,702,069 | 32,339,311 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -43 | -437 | -817 | -989 | -1,721 | -18,791 | -32,699 | -39,583 | -74,003 | -752,077 | -1,406,057 | -1,702,069 | -32,339,311 |
