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 32,761,085, 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 | 32,761,085 | |
| -1 | -32,761,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,761,085.
Example:
1 x 32,761,085 = 32,761,085
and
-1 x -32,761,085 = 32,761,085
Notice both answers equal 32,761,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,761,085 and divide it by 2:
32,761,085 ÷ 2 = 16,380,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,380,542.5 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 | 32,761,085 | |
| -1 | -32,761,085 |
Now, we try dividing 32,761,085 by 3:
32,761,085 ÷ 3 = 10,920,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,920,361.6667 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 | 32,761,085 | |
| -1 | -32,761,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,761,085 ÷ 4 = 8,190,271.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,190,271.25 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 | 32,761,085 | |
| -1 | 32,761,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 40,697 | 203,485 | 284,879 | 936,031 | 1,424,395 | 4,680,155 | 6,552,217 | 32,761,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -40,697 | -203,485 | -284,879 | -936,031 | -1,424,395 | -4,680,155 | -6,552,217 | -32,761,085 |
