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 32,628,959, 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 | 32,628,959 | |
| -1 | -32,628,959 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,628,959.
Example:
1 x 32,628,959 = 32,628,959
and
-1 x -32,628,959 = 32,628,959
Notice both answers equal 32,628,959
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,628,959 and divide it by 2:
32,628,959 ÷ 2 = 16,314,479.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,314,479.5 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 | 32,628,959 | |
| -1 | -32,628,959 |
Now, we try dividing 32,628,959 by 3:
32,628,959 ÷ 3 = 10,876,319.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,876,319.6667 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 | 32,628,959 | |
| -1 | -32,628,959 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,628,959 ÷ 4 = 8,157,239.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,157,239.75 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 | 32,628,959 | |
| -1 | 32,628,959 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 101 | 473 | 683 | 1,111 | 4,343 | 7,513 | 29,369 | 47,773 | 68,983 | 323,059 | 758,813 | 2,966,269 | 32,628,959 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -101 | -473 | -683 | -1,111 | -4,343 | -7,513 | -29,369 | -47,773 | -68,983 | -323,059 | -758,813 | -2,966,269 | -32,628,959 |
