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 32,564,635, 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 | 32,564,635 | |
| -1 | -32,564,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,564,635.
Example:
1 x 32,564,635 = 32,564,635
and
-1 x -32,564,635 = 32,564,635
Notice both answers equal 32,564,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,564,635 and divide it by 2:
32,564,635 ÷ 2 = 16,282,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,282,317.5 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 | 32,564,635 | |
| -1 | -32,564,635 |
Now, we try dividing 32,564,635 by 3:
32,564,635 ÷ 3 = 10,854,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,854,878.3333 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 | 32,564,635 | |
| -1 | -32,564,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,564,635 ÷ 4 = 8,141,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,141,158.75 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 | 32,564,635 | |
| -1 | 32,564,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 83 | 131 | 415 | 599 | 655 | 2,995 | 10,873 | 49,717 | 54,365 | 78,469 | 248,585 | 392,345 | 6,512,927 | 32,564,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -83 | -131 | -415 | -599 | -655 | -2,995 | -10,873 | -49,717 | -54,365 | -78,469 | -248,585 | -392,345 | -6,512,927 | -32,564,635 |
