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 32,484,395, 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 | 32,484,395 | |
| -1 | -32,484,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,484,395.
Example:
1 x 32,484,395 = 32,484,395
and
-1 x -32,484,395 = 32,484,395
Notice both answers equal 32,484,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,484,395 and divide it by 2:
32,484,395 ÷ 2 = 16,242,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,242,197.5 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 | 32,484,395 | |
| -1 | -32,484,395 |
Now, we try dividing 32,484,395 by 3:
32,484,395 ÷ 3 = 10,828,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,828,131.6667 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 | 32,484,395 | |
| -1 | -32,484,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,484,395 ÷ 4 = 8,121,098.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,121,098.75 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 | 32,484,395 | |
| -1 | 32,484,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 23 | 95 | 115 | 437 | 2,185 | 14,867 | 74,335 | 282,473 | 341,941 | 1,412,365 | 1,709,705 | 6,496,879 | 32,484,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -23 | -95 | -115 | -437 | -2,185 | -14,867 | -74,335 | -282,473 | -341,941 | -1,412,365 | -1,709,705 | -6,496,879 | -32,484,395 |
