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 32,698,565, 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 | 32,698,565 | |
| -1 | -32,698,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,698,565.
Example:
1 x 32,698,565 = 32,698,565
and
-1 x -32,698,565 = 32,698,565
Notice both answers equal 32,698,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,698,565 and divide it by 2:
32,698,565 ÷ 2 = 16,349,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,349,282.5 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 | 32,698,565 | |
| -1 | -32,698,565 |
Now, we try dividing 32,698,565 by 3:
32,698,565 ÷ 3 = 10,899,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,899,521.6667 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 | 32,698,565 | |
| -1 | -32,698,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,698,565 ÷ 4 = 8,174,641.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,174,641.25 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 | 32,698,565 | |
| -1 | 32,698,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 281 | 629 | 1,369 | 1,405 | 3,145 | 4,777 | 6,845 | 10,397 | 23,273 | 23,885 | 51,985 | 116,365 | 176,749 | 384,689 | 883,745 | 1,923,445 | 6,539,713 | 32,698,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -281 | -629 | -1,369 | -1,405 | -3,145 | -4,777 | -6,845 | -10,397 | -23,273 | -23,885 | -51,985 | -116,365 | -176,749 | -384,689 | -883,745 | -1,923,445 | -6,539,713 | -32,698,565 |
