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 33,288,751, 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 | 33,288,751 | |
| -1 | -33,288,751 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,288,751.
Example:
1 x 33,288,751 = 33,288,751
and
-1 x -33,288,751 = 33,288,751
Notice both answers equal 33,288,751
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,288,751 and divide it by 2:
33,288,751 ÷ 2 = 16,644,375.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,644,375.5 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 | 33,288,751 | |
| -1 | -33,288,751 |
Now, we try dividing 33,288,751 by 3:
33,288,751 ÷ 3 = 11,096,250.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,096,250.3333 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 | 33,288,751 | |
| -1 | -33,288,751 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,288,751 ÷ 4 = 8,322,187.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,322,187.75 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 | 33,288,751 | |
| -1 | 33,288,751 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 43 | 97 | 347 | 989 | 2,231 | 4,171 | 7,981 | 14,921 | 33,659 | 95,933 | 343,183 | 774,157 | 1,447,337 | 33,288,751 |
| -1 | -23 | -43 | -97 | -347 | -989 | -2,231 | -4,171 | -7,981 | -14,921 | -33,659 | -95,933 | -343,183 | -774,157 | -1,447,337 | -33,288,751 |
