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 32,966,185, 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 | 32,966,185 | |
| -1 | -32,966,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 32,966,185.
Example:
1 x 32,966,185 = 32,966,185
and
-1 x -32,966,185 = 32,966,185
Notice both answers equal 32,966,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 32,966,185 and divide it by 2:
32,966,185 ÷ 2 = 16,483,092.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,483,092.5 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 | 32,966,185 | |
| -1 | -32,966,185 |
Now, we try dividing 32,966,185 by 3:
32,966,185 ÷ 3 = 10,988,728.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 10,988,728.3333 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 | 32,966,185 | |
| -1 | -32,966,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
32,966,185 ÷ 4 = 8,241,546.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,241,546.25 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 | 32,966,185 | |
| -1 | 32,966,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 203 | 1,015 | 32,479 | 162,395 | 227,353 | 941,891 | 1,136,765 | 4,709,455 | 6,593,237 | 32,966,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -203 | -1,015 | -32,479 | -162,395 | -227,353 | -941,891 | -1,136,765 | -4,709,455 | -6,593,237 | -32,966,185 |
