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 33,202,309, 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 | 33,202,309 | |
| -1 | -33,202,309 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,202,309.
Example:
1 x 33,202,309 = 33,202,309
and
-1 x -33,202,309 = 33,202,309
Notice both answers equal 33,202,309
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,202,309 and divide it by 2:
33,202,309 ÷ 2 = 16,601,154.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,601,154.5 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 | 33,202,309 | |
| -1 | -33,202,309 |
Now, we try dividing 33,202,309 by 3:
33,202,309 ÷ 3 = 11,067,436.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,067,436.3333 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 | 33,202,309 | |
| -1 | -33,202,309 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,202,309 ÷ 4 = 8,300,577.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,300,577.25 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 | 33,202,309 | |
| -1 | 33,202,309 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 59 | 119 | 413 | 1,003 | 4,729 | 7,021 | 33,103 | 80,393 | 279,011 | 562,751 | 1,953,077 | 4,743,187 | 33,202,309 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -59 | -119 | -413 | -1,003 | -4,729 | -7,021 | -33,103 | -80,393 | -279,011 | -562,751 | -1,953,077 | -4,743,187 | -33,202,309 |
