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 32,594,611, 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 | 32,594,611 | |
| -1 | -32,594,611 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,594,611.
Example:
1 x 32,594,611 = 32,594,611
and
-1 x -32,594,611 = 32,594,611
Notice both answers equal 32,594,611
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,594,611 and divide it by 2:
32,594,611 ÷ 2 = 16,297,305.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,297,305.5 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 | 32,594,611 | |
| -1 | -32,594,611 |
Now, we try dividing 32,594,611 by 3:
32,594,611 ÷ 3 = 10,864,870.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,864,870.3333 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 | 32,594,611 | |
| -1 | -32,594,611 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,594,611 ÷ 4 = 8,148,652.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,148,652.75 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 | 32,594,611 | |
| -1 | 32,594,611 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 161 | 443 | 457 | 3,101 | 3,199 | 10,189 | 10,511 | 71,323 | 73,577 | 202,451 | 1,417,157 | 4,656,373 | 32,594,611 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -161 | -443 | -457 | -3,101 | -3,199 | -10,189 | -10,511 | -71,323 | -73,577 | -202,451 | -1,417,157 | -4,656,373 | -32,594,611 |
