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 32,555,725, 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 | 32,555,725 | |
| -1 | -32,555,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,555,725.
Example:
1 x 32,555,725 = 32,555,725
and
-1 x -32,555,725 = 32,555,725
Notice both answers equal 32,555,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,555,725 and divide it by 2:
32,555,725 ÷ 2 = 16,277,862.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,277,862.5 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 | 32,555,725 | |
| -1 | -32,555,725 |
Now, we try dividing 32,555,725 by 3:
32,555,725 ÷ 3 = 10,851,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,851,908.3333 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 | 32,555,725 | |
| -1 | -32,555,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,555,725 ÷ 4 = 8,138,931.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,138,931.25 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 | 32,555,725 | |
| -1 | 32,555,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 47 | 103 | 235 | 269 | 515 | 1,175 | 1,345 | 2,575 | 4,841 | 6,725 | 12,643 | 24,205 | 27,707 | 63,215 | 121,025 | 138,535 | 316,075 | 692,675 | 1,302,229 | 6,511,145 | 32,555,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -47 | -103 | -235 | -269 | -515 | -1,175 | -1,345 | -2,575 | -4,841 | -6,725 | -12,643 | -24,205 | -27,707 | -63,215 | -121,025 | -138,535 | -316,075 | -692,675 | -1,302,229 | -6,511,145 | -32,555,725 |
