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 32,634,251, 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 | 32,634,251 | |
| -1 | -32,634,251 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,634,251.
Example:
1 x 32,634,251 = 32,634,251
and
-1 x -32,634,251 = 32,634,251
Notice both answers equal 32,634,251
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,634,251 and divide it by 2:
32,634,251 ÷ 2 = 16,317,125.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,317,125.5 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 | 32,634,251 | |
| -1 | -32,634,251 |
Now, we try dividing 32,634,251 by 3:
32,634,251 ÷ 3 = 10,878,083.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,878,083.6667 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 | 32,634,251 | |
| -1 | -32,634,251 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,634,251 ÷ 4 = 8,158,562.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,158,562.75 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 | 32,634,251 | |
| -1 | 32,634,251 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 107 | 377 | 809 | 1,391 | 3,103 | 10,517 | 23,461 | 40,339 | 86,563 | 304,993 | 1,125,319 | 2,510,327 | 32,634,251 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -107 | -377 | -809 | -1,391 | -3,103 | -10,517 | -23,461 | -40,339 | -86,563 | -304,993 | -1,125,319 | -2,510,327 | -32,634,251 |
