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 32,352,545, 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 | 32,352,545 | |
| -1 | -32,352,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,352,545.
Example:
1 x 32,352,545 = 32,352,545
and
-1 x -32,352,545 = 32,352,545
Notice both answers equal 32,352,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,352,545 and divide it by 2:
32,352,545 ÷ 2 = 16,176,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,176,272.5 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 | 32,352,545 | |
| -1 | -32,352,545 |
Now, we try dividing 32,352,545 by 3:
32,352,545 ÷ 3 = 10,784,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,784,181.6667 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 | 32,352,545 | |
| -1 | -32,352,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,352,545 ÷ 4 = 8,088,136.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,088,136.25 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 | 32,352,545 | |
| -1 | 32,352,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 347 | 643 | 1,735 | 3,215 | 10,063 | 18,647 | 50,315 | 93,235 | 223,121 | 1,115,605 | 6,470,509 | 32,352,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -347 | -643 | -1,735 | -3,215 | -10,063 | -18,647 | -50,315 | -93,235 | -223,121 | -1,115,605 | -6,470,509 | -32,352,545 |
