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 32,456,567, 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 | 32,456,567 | |
| -1 | -32,456,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,456,567.
Example:
1 x 32,456,567 = 32,456,567
and
-1 x -32,456,567 = 32,456,567
Notice both answers equal 32,456,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,456,567 and divide it by 2:
32,456,567 ÷ 2 = 16,228,283.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,228,283.5 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 | 32,456,567 | |
| -1 | -32,456,567 |
Now, we try dividing 32,456,567 by 3:
32,456,567 ÷ 3 = 10,818,855.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,818,855.6667 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 | 32,456,567 | |
| -1 | -32,456,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,456,567 ÷ 4 = 8,114,141.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,114,141.75 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 | 32,456,567 | |
| -1 | 32,456,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 263 | 863 | 2,893 | 3,419 | 9,493 | 11,219 | 37,609 | 123,409 | 226,969 | 2,496,659 | 2,950,597 | 32,456,567 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -263 | -863 | -2,893 | -3,419 | -9,493 | -11,219 | -37,609 | -123,409 | -226,969 | -2,496,659 | -2,950,597 | -32,456,567 |
