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 32,635,343, 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 | 32,635,343 | |
| -1 | -32,635,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,635,343.
Example:
1 x 32,635,343 = 32,635,343
and
-1 x -32,635,343 = 32,635,343
Notice both answers equal 32,635,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,635,343 and divide it by 2:
32,635,343 ÷ 2 = 16,317,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,317,671.5 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 | 32,635,343 | |
| -1 | -32,635,343 |
Now, we try dividing 32,635,343 by 3:
32,635,343 ÷ 3 = 10,878,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,878,447.6667 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 | 32,635,343 | |
| -1 | -32,635,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,635,343 ÷ 4 = 8,158,835.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,158,835.75 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 | 32,635,343 | |
| -1 | 32,635,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 47 | 403 | 611 | 1,457 | 1,723 | 18,941 | 22,399 | 53,413 | 80,981 | 694,369 | 1,052,753 | 2,510,411 | 32,635,343 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -47 | -403 | -611 | -1,457 | -1,723 | -18,941 | -22,399 | -53,413 | -80,981 | -694,369 | -1,052,753 | -2,510,411 | -32,635,343 |
