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 32,737,441, 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 | 32,737,441 | |
| -1 | -32,737,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,737,441.
Example:
1 x 32,737,441 = 32,737,441
and
-1 x -32,737,441 = 32,737,441
Notice both answers equal 32,737,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,737,441 and divide it by 2:
32,737,441 ÷ 2 = 16,368,720.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,368,720.5 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 | 32,737,441 | |
| -1 | -32,737,441 |
Now, we try dividing 32,737,441 by 3:
32,737,441 ÷ 3 = 10,912,480.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,912,480.3333 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 | 32,737,441 | |
| -1 | -32,737,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,737,441 ÷ 4 = 8,184,360.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,184,360.25 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 | 32,737,441 | |
| -1 | 32,737,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 83 | 253 | 913 | 1,559 | 1,909 | 17,149 | 20,999 | 35,857 | 129,397 | 394,427 | 1,423,367 | 2,976,131 | 32,737,441 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -83 | -253 | -913 | -1,559 | -1,909 | -17,149 | -20,999 | -35,857 | -129,397 | -394,427 | -1,423,367 | -2,976,131 | -32,737,441 |
