How do I find the factor combinations of the number 32,828,184?

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 32,828,184, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 32,828,184
-1 -32,828,184

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,828,184.

Example:
1 x 32,828,184 = 32,828,184
and
-1 x -32,828,184 = 32,828,184
Notice both answers equal 32,828,184

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,828,184 and divide it by 2:

32,828,184 ÷ 2 = 16,414,092

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,414,092 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 16,414,092 32,828,184
-1 -2 -16,414,092 -32,828,184

Now, we try dividing 32,828,184 by 3:

32,828,184 ÷ 3 = 10,942,728

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,942,728 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 10,942,728 16,414,092 32,828,184
-1 -2 -3 -10,942,728 -16,414,092 -32,828,184

Let's try dividing by 4:

32,828,184 ÷ 4 = 8,207,046

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,207,046 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 8,207,046 10,942,728 16,414,092 32,828,184
-1 -2 -3 -4 -8,207,046 -10,942,728 -16,414,092 32,828,184
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
