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 32,402,435, 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 | 32,402,435 | |
| -1 | -32,402,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,402,435.
Example:
1 x 32,402,435 = 32,402,435
and
-1 x -32,402,435 = 32,402,435
Notice both answers equal 32,402,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,402,435 and divide it by 2:
32,402,435 ÷ 2 = 16,201,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,201,217.5 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 | 32,402,435 | |
| -1 | -32,402,435 |
Now, we try dividing 32,402,435 by 3:
32,402,435 ÷ 3 = 10,800,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,800,811.6667 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 | 32,402,435 | |
| -1 | -32,402,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,402,435 ÷ 4 = 8,100,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,100,608.75 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 | 32,402,435 | |
| -1 | 32,402,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 11,593 | 57,965 | 150,709 | 498,499 | 753,545 | 2,492,495 | 6,480,487 | 32,402,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -11,593 | -57,965 | -150,709 | -498,499 | -753,545 | -2,492,495 | -6,480,487 | -32,402,435 |
