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 32,361,013, 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 | 32,361,013 | |
| -1 | -32,361,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,361,013.
Example:
1 x 32,361,013 = 32,361,013
and
-1 x -32,361,013 = 32,361,013
Notice both answers equal 32,361,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,361,013 and divide it by 2:
32,361,013 ÷ 2 = 16,180,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,180,506.5 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 | 32,361,013 | |
| -1 | -32,361,013 |
Now, we try dividing 32,361,013 by 3:
32,361,013 ÷ 3 = 10,787,004.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,787,004.3333 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 | 32,361,013 | |
| -1 | -32,361,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,361,013 ÷ 4 = 8,090,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,090,253.25 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 | 32,361,013 | |
| -1 | 32,361,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 41 | 493 | 697 | 1,189 | 1,601 | 20,213 | 27,217 | 46,429 | 65,641 | 789,293 | 1,115,897 | 1,903,589 | 32,361,013 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -41 | -493 | -697 | -1,189 | -1,601 | -20,213 | -27,217 | -46,429 | -65,641 | -789,293 | -1,115,897 | -1,903,589 | -32,361,013 |
