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 32,757,073, 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 | 32,757,073 | |
| -1 | -32,757,073 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,757,073.
Example:
1 x 32,757,073 = 32,757,073
and
-1 x -32,757,073 = 32,757,073
Notice both answers equal 32,757,073
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,757,073 and divide it by 2:
32,757,073 ÷ 2 = 16,378,536.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,378,536.5 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 | 32,757,073 | |
| -1 | -32,757,073 |
Now, we try dividing 32,757,073 by 3:
32,757,073 ÷ 3 = 10,919,024.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,919,024.3333 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 | 32,757,073 | |
| -1 | -32,757,073 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,757,073 ÷ 4 = 8,189,268.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,189,268.25 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 | 32,757,073 | |
| -1 | 32,757,073 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 47 | 89 | 191 | 1,927 | 3,649 | 4,183 | 7,831 | 8,977 | 16,999 | 171,503 | 368,057 | 696,959 | 798,953 | 32,757,073 |
| -1 | -41 | -47 | -89 | -191 | -1,927 | -3,649 | -4,183 | -7,831 | -8,977 | -16,999 | -171,503 | -368,057 | -696,959 | -798,953 | -32,757,073 |
