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 32,606,035, 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 | 32,606,035 | |
| -1 | -32,606,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,606,035.
Example:
1 x 32,606,035 = 32,606,035
and
-1 x -32,606,035 = 32,606,035
Notice both answers equal 32,606,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,606,035 and divide it by 2:
32,606,035 ÷ 2 = 16,303,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,303,017.5 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 | 32,606,035 | |
| -1 | -32,606,035 |
Now, we try dividing 32,606,035 by 3:
32,606,035 ÷ 3 = 10,868,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,868,678.3333 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 | 32,606,035 | |
| -1 | -32,606,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,606,035 ÷ 4 = 8,151,508.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,151,508.75 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 | 32,606,035 | |
| -1 | 32,606,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 84,691 | 423,455 | 592,837 | 931,601 | 2,964,185 | 4,658,005 | 6,521,207 | 32,606,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -84,691 | -423,455 | -592,837 | -931,601 | -2,964,185 | -4,658,005 | -6,521,207 | -32,606,035 |
