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 32,367,601, 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 | 32,367,601 | |
| -1 | -32,367,601 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,367,601.
Example:
1 x 32,367,601 = 32,367,601
and
-1 x -32,367,601 = 32,367,601
Notice both answers equal 32,367,601
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,367,601 and divide it by 2:
32,367,601 ÷ 2 = 16,183,800.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,183,800.5 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 | 32,367,601 | |
| -1 | -32,367,601 |
Now, we try dividing 32,367,601 by 3:
32,367,601 ÷ 3 = 10,789,200.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,789,200.3333 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 | 32,367,601 | |
| -1 | -32,367,601 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,367,601 ÷ 4 = 8,091,900.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,091,900.25 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 | 32,367,601 | |
| -1 | 32,367,601 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 127 | 161 | 889 | 1,583 | 2,921 | 11,081 | 20,447 | 36,409 | 201,041 | 254,863 | 1,407,287 | 4,623,943 | 32,367,601 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -127 | -161 | -889 | -1,583 | -2,921 | -11,081 | -20,447 | -36,409 | -201,041 | -254,863 | -1,407,287 | -4,623,943 | -32,367,601 |
