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 32,882,575, 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 | 32,882,575 | |
| -1 | -32,882,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,882,575.
Example:
1 x 32,882,575 = 32,882,575
and
-1 x -32,882,575 = 32,882,575
Notice both answers equal 32,882,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,882,575 and divide it by 2:
32,882,575 ÷ 2 = 16,441,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,441,287.5 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 | 32,882,575 | |
| -1 | -32,882,575 |
Now, we try dividing 32,882,575 by 3:
32,882,575 ÷ 3 = 10,960,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,960,858.3333 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 | 32,882,575 | |
| -1 | -32,882,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,882,575 ÷ 4 = 8,220,643.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,220,643.75 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 | 32,882,575 | |
| -1 | 32,882,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 109 | 275 | 545 | 1,097 | 1,199 | 2,725 | 5,485 | 5,995 | 12,067 | 27,425 | 29,975 | 60,335 | 119,573 | 301,675 | 597,865 | 1,315,303 | 2,989,325 | 6,576,515 | 32,882,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -109 | -275 | -545 | -1,097 | -1,199 | -2,725 | -5,485 | -5,995 | -12,067 | -27,425 | -29,975 | -60,335 | -119,573 | -301,675 | -597,865 | -1,315,303 | -2,989,325 | -6,576,515 | -32,882,575 |
