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 32,339,315, 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 | 32,339,315 | |
| -1 | -32,339,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,339,315.
Example:
1 x 32,339,315 = 32,339,315
and
-1 x -32,339,315 = 32,339,315
Notice both answers equal 32,339,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,339,315 and divide it by 2:
32,339,315 ÷ 2 = 16,169,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,169,657.5 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 | 32,339,315 | |
| -1 | -32,339,315 |
Now, we try dividing 32,339,315 by 3:
32,339,315 ÷ 3 = 10,779,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,779,771.6667 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 | 32,339,315 | |
| -1 | -32,339,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,339,315 ÷ 4 = 8,084,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,084,828.75 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 | 32,339,315 | |
| -1 | 32,339,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 97 | 131 | 485 | 509 | 655 | 2,545 | 12,707 | 49,373 | 63,535 | 66,679 | 246,865 | 333,395 | 6,467,863 | 32,339,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -97 | -131 | -485 | -509 | -655 | -2,545 | -12,707 | -49,373 | -63,535 | -66,679 | -246,865 | -333,395 | -6,467,863 | -32,339,315 |
