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 32,666,335, 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 | 32,666,335 | |
| -1 | -32,666,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,666,335.
Example:
1 x 32,666,335 = 32,666,335
and
-1 x -32,666,335 = 32,666,335
Notice both answers equal 32,666,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,666,335 and divide it by 2:
32,666,335 ÷ 2 = 16,333,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,333,167.5 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 | 32,666,335 | |
| -1 | -32,666,335 |
Now, we try dividing 32,666,335 by 3:
32,666,335 ÷ 3 = 10,888,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,888,778.3333 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 | 32,666,335 | |
| -1 | -32,666,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,666,335 ÷ 4 = 8,166,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,166,583.75 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 | 32,666,335 | |
| -1 | 32,666,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 307 | 1,535 | 1,637 | 3,991 | 8,185 | 19,955 | 21,281 | 106,405 | 502,559 | 2,512,795 | 6,533,267 | 32,666,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -307 | -1,535 | -1,637 | -3,991 | -8,185 | -19,955 | -21,281 | -106,405 | -502,559 | -2,512,795 | -6,533,267 | -32,666,335 |
