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 33,363,869, 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 | 33,363,869 | |
| -1 | -33,363,869 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,363,869.
Example:
1 x 33,363,869 = 33,363,869
and
-1 x -33,363,869 = 33,363,869
Notice both answers equal 33,363,869
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,363,869 and divide it by 2:
33,363,869 ÷ 2 = 16,681,934.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,681,934.5 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 | 33,363,869 | |
| -1 | -33,363,869 |
Now, we try dividing 33,363,869 by 3:
33,363,869 ÷ 3 = 11,121,289.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,121,289.6667 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 | 33,363,869 | |
| -1 | -33,363,869 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,363,869 ÷ 4 = 8,340,967.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,340,967.25 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 | 33,363,869 | |
| -1 | 33,363,869 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 77 | 161 | 253 | 1,771 | 18,839 | 131,873 | 207,229 | 433,297 | 1,450,603 | 3,033,079 | 4,766,267 | 33,363,869 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -77 | -161 | -253 | -1,771 | -18,839 | -131,873 | -207,229 | -433,297 | -1,450,603 | -3,033,079 | -4,766,267 | -33,363,869 |
