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 32,346,335, 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 | 32,346,335 | |
| -1 | -32,346,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,346,335.
Example:
1 x 32,346,335 = 32,346,335
and
-1 x -32,346,335 = 32,346,335
Notice both answers equal 32,346,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,346,335 and divide it by 2:
32,346,335 ÷ 2 = 16,173,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,173,167.5 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 | 32,346,335 | |
| -1 | -32,346,335 |
Now, we try dividing 32,346,335 by 3:
32,346,335 ÷ 3 = 10,782,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,782,111.6667 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 | 32,346,335 | |
| -1 | -32,346,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,346,335 ÷ 4 = 8,086,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,086,583.75 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 | 32,346,335 | |
| -1 | 32,346,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 41 | 205 | 287 | 1,435 | 22,541 | 112,705 | 157,787 | 788,935 | 924,181 | 4,620,905 | 6,469,267 | 32,346,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -41 | -205 | -287 | -1,435 | -22,541 | -112,705 | -157,787 | -788,935 | -924,181 | -4,620,905 | -6,469,267 | -32,346,335 |
