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 32,340,341, 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 | 32,340,341 | |
| -1 | -32,340,341 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,340,341.
Example:
1 x 32,340,341 = 32,340,341
and
-1 x -32,340,341 = 32,340,341
Notice both answers equal 32,340,341
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,340,341 and divide it by 2:
32,340,341 ÷ 2 = 16,170,170.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,170,170.5 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 | 32,340,341 | |
| -1 | -32,340,341 |
Now, we try dividing 32,340,341 by 3:
32,340,341 ÷ 3 = 10,780,113.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,780,113.6667 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 | 32,340,341 | |
| -1 | -32,340,341 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,340,341 ÷ 4 = 8,085,085.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,085,085.25 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 | 32,340,341 | |
| -1 | 32,340,341 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 163 | 187 | 1,061 | 1,793 | 2,771 | 11,671 | 18,037 | 30,481 | 172,943 | 198,407 | 1,902,373 | 2,940,031 | 32,340,341 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -163 | -187 | -1,061 | -1,793 | -2,771 | -11,671 | -18,037 | -30,481 | -172,943 | -198,407 | -1,902,373 | -2,940,031 | -32,340,341 |
