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 32,685,611, 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 | 32,685,611 | |
| -1 | -32,685,611 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,685,611.
Example:
1 x 32,685,611 = 32,685,611
and
-1 x -32,685,611 = 32,685,611
Notice both answers equal 32,685,611
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,685,611 and divide it by 2:
32,685,611 ÷ 2 = 16,342,805.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,342,805.5 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 | 32,685,611 | |
| -1 | -32,685,611 |
Now, we try dividing 32,685,611 by 3:
32,685,611 ÷ 3 = 10,895,203.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,895,203.6667 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 | 32,685,611 | |
| -1 | -32,685,611 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,685,611 ÷ 4 = 8,171,402.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,171,402.75 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 | 32,685,611 | |
| -1 | 32,685,611 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 107 | 119 | 151 | 289 | 749 | 1,057 | 1,819 | 2,023 | 2,567 | 12,733 | 16,157 | 17,969 | 30,923 | 43,639 | 113,099 | 216,461 | 274,669 | 305,473 | 1,922,683 | 4,669,373 | 32,685,611 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -107 | -119 | -151 | -289 | -749 | -1,057 | -1,819 | -2,023 | -2,567 | -12,733 | -16,157 | -17,969 | -30,923 | -43,639 | -113,099 | -216,461 | -274,669 | -305,473 | -1,922,683 | -4,669,373 | -32,685,611 |
