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 32,624,003, 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 | 32,624,003 | |
| -1 | -32,624,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,624,003.
Example:
1 x 32,624,003 = 32,624,003
and
-1 x -32,624,003 = 32,624,003
Notice both answers equal 32,624,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,624,003 and divide it by 2:
32,624,003 ÷ 2 = 16,312,001.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,312,001.5 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 | 32,624,003 | |
| -1 | -32,624,003 |
Now, we try dividing 32,624,003 by 3:
32,624,003 ÷ 3 = 10,874,667.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,874,667.6667 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 | 32,624,003 | |
| -1 | -32,624,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,624,003 ÷ 4 = 8,156,000.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,156,000.75 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 | 32,624,003 | |
| -1 | 32,624,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 71 | 151 | 179 | 1,207 | 2,567 | 3,043 | 10,721 | 12,709 | 27,029 | 182,257 | 216,053 | 459,493 | 1,919,059 | 32,624,003 |
| -1 | -17 | -71 | -151 | -179 | -1,207 | -2,567 | -3,043 | -10,721 | -12,709 | -27,029 | -182,257 | -216,053 | -459,493 | -1,919,059 | -32,624,003 |
