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 32,395,615, 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 | 32,395,615 | |
| -1 | -32,395,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,395,615.
Example:
1 x 32,395,615 = 32,395,615
and
-1 x -32,395,615 = 32,395,615
Notice both answers equal 32,395,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,395,615 and divide it by 2:
32,395,615 ÷ 2 = 16,197,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,197,807.5 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 | 32,395,615 | |
| -1 | -32,395,615 |
Now, we try dividing 32,395,615 by 3:
32,395,615 ÷ 3 = 10,798,538.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,798,538.3333 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 | 32,395,615 | |
| -1 | -32,395,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,395,615 ÷ 4 = 8,098,903.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,098,903.75 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 | 32,395,615 | |
| -1 | 32,395,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 49 | 115 | 161 | 245 | 805 | 1,127 | 5,635 | 5,749 | 28,745 | 40,243 | 132,227 | 201,215 | 281,701 | 661,135 | 925,589 | 1,408,505 | 4,627,945 | 6,479,123 | 32,395,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -49 | -115 | -161 | -245 | -805 | -1,127 | -5,635 | -5,749 | -28,745 | -40,243 | -132,227 | -201,215 | -281,701 | -661,135 | -925,589 | -1,408,505 | -4,627,945 | -6,479,123 | -32,395,615 |
