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 32,582,081, 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 | 32,582,081 | |
| -1 | -32,582,081 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,582,081.
Example:
1 x 32,582,081 = 32,582,081
and
-1 x -32,582,081 = 32,582,081
Notice both answers equal 32,582,081
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,582,081 and divide it by 2:
32,582,081 ÷ 2 = 16,291,040.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,291,040.5 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 | 32,582,081 | |
| -1 | -32,582,081 |
Now, we try dividing 32,582,081 by 3:
32,582,081 ÷ 3 = 10,860,693.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,860,693.6667 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 | 32,582,081 | |
| -1 | -32,582,081 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,582,081 ÷ 4 = 8,145,520.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,145,520.25 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 | 32,582,081 | |
| -1 | 32,582,081 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 113 | 119 | 791 | 1,921 | 2,423 | 13,447 | 16,961 | 41,191 | 273,799 | 288,337 | 1,916,593 | 4,654,583 | 32,582,081 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -113 | -119 | -791 | -1,921 | -2,423 | -13,447 | -16,961 | -41,191 | -273,799 | -288,337 | -1,916,593 | -4,654,583 | -32,582,081 |
