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 32,648,275, 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 | 32,648,275 | |
| -1 | -32,648,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,648,275.
Example:
1 x 32,648,275 = 32,648,275
and
-1 x -32,648,275 = 32,648,275
Notice both answers equal 32,648,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,648,275 and divide it by 2:
32,648,275 ÷ 2 = 16,324,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,324,137.5 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 | 32,648,275 | |
| -1 | -32,648,275 |
Now, we try dividing 32,648,275 by 3:
32,648,275 ÷ 3 = 10,882,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,882,758.3333 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 | 32,648,275 | |
| -1 | -32,648,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,648,275 ÷ 4 = 8,162,068.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,162,068.75 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 | 32,648,275 | |
| -1 | 32,648,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 227 | 275 | 523 | 1,135 | 2,497 | 2,615 | 5,675 | 5,753 | 12,485 | 13,075 | 28,765 | 62,425 | 118,721 | 143,825 | 593,605 | 1,305,931 | 2,968,025 | 6,529,655 | 32,648,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -227 | -275 | -523 | -1,135 | -2,497 | -2,615 | -5,675 | -5,753 | -12,485 | -13,075 | -28,765 | -62,425 | -118,721 | -143,825 | -593,605 | -1,305,931 | -2,968,025 | -6,529,655 | -32,648,275 |
