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 32,701,235, 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 | 32,701,235 | |
| -1 | -32,701,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,701,235.
Example:
1 x 32,701,235 = 32,701,235
and
-1 x -32,701,235 = 32,701,235
Notice both answers equal 32,701,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,701,235 and divide it by 2:
32,701,235 ÷ 2 = 16,350,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,350,617.5 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 | 32,701,235 | |
| -1 | -32,701,235 |
Now, we try dividing 32,701,235 by 3:
32,701,235 ÷ 3 = 10,900,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,900,411.6667 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 | 32,701,235 | |
| -1 | -32,701,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,701,235 ÷ 4 = 8,175,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,175,308.75 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 | 32,701,235 | |
| -1 | 32,701,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 277 | 1,385 | 1,939 | 3,373 | 9,695 | 16,865 | 23,611 | 118,055 | 934,321 | 4,671,605 | 6,540,247 | 32,701,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -277 | -1,385 | -1,939 | -3,373 | -9,695 | -16,865 | -23,611 | -118,055 | -934,321 | -4,671,605 | -6,540,247 | -32,701,235 |
