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 33,342,463, 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 | 33,342,463 | |
| -1 | -33,342,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,342,463.
Example:
1 x 33,342,463 = 33,342,463
and
-1 x -33,342,463 = 33,342,463
Notice both answers equal 33,342,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,342,463 and divide it by 2:
33,342,463 ÷ 2 = 16,671,231.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,671,231.5 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 | 33,342,463 | |
| -1 | -33,342,463 |
Now, we try dividing 33,342,463 by 3:
33,342,463 ÷ 3 = 11,114,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,114,154.3333 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 | 33,342,463 | |
| -1 | -33,342,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,342,463 ÷ 4 = 8,335,615.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,335,615.75 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 | 33,342,463 | |
| -1 | 33,342,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 173 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 2,503 | 13,321 | 17,521 | 27,533 | 192,731 | 433,019 | 3,031,133 | 4,763,209 | 33,342,463 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -173 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -2,503 | -13,321 | -17,521 | -27,533 | -192,731 | -433,019 | -3,031,133 | -4,763,209 | -33,342,463 |
