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 33,336,085, 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 | 33,336,085 | |
| -1 | -33,336,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,336,085.
Example:
1 x 33,336,085 = 33,336,085
and
-1 x -33,336,085 = 33,336,085
Notice both answers equal 33,336,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,336,085 and divide it by 2:
33,336,085 ÷ 2 = 16,668,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,668,042.5 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 | 33,336,085 | |
| -1 | -33,336,085 |
Now, we try dividing 33,336,085 by 3:
33,336,085 ÷ 3 = 11,112,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,112,028.3333 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 | 33,336,085 | |
| -1 | -33,336,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,336,085 ÷ 4 = 8,334,021.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,334,021.25 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 | 33,336,085 | |
| -1 | 33,336,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 227 | 1,135 | 1,277 | 5,221 | 6,385 | 26,105 | 29,371 | 146,855 | 289,879 | 1,449,395 | 6,667,217 | 33,336,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -227 | -1,135 | -1,277 | -5,221 | -6,385 | -26,105 | -29,371 | -146,855 | -289,879 | -1,449,395 | -6,667,217 | -33,336,085 |
