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 32,615,435, 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 | 32,615,435 | |
| -1 | -32,615,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,615,435.
Example:
1 x 32,615,435 = 32,615,435
and
-1 x -32,615,435 = 32,615,435
Notice both answers equal 32,615,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,615,435 and divide it by 2:
32,615,435 ÷ 2 = 16,307,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,307,717.5 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 | 32,615,435 | |
| -1 | -32,615,435 |
Now, we try dividing 32,615,435 by 3:
32,615,435 ÷ 3 = 10,871,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,871,811.6667 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 | 32,615,435 | |
| -1 | -32,615,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,615,435 ÷ 4 = 8,153,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,153,858.75 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 | 32,615,435 | |
| -1 | 32,615,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 353 | 1,087 | 1,765 | 5,435 | 6,001 | 18,479 | 30,005 | 92,395 | 383,711 | 1,918,555 | 6,523,087 | 32,615,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -353 | -1,087 | -1,765 | -5,435 | -6,001 | -18,479 | -30,005 | -92,395 | -383,711 | -1,918,555 | -6,523,087 | -32,615,435 |
