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 33,402,523, 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 | 33,402,523 | |
| -1 | -33,402,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,402,523.
Example:
1 x 33,402,523 = 33,402,523
and
-1 x -33,402,523 = 33,402,523
Notice both answers equal 33,402,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,402,523 and divide it by 2:
33,402,523 ÷ 2 = 16,701,261.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,701,261.5 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 | 33,402,523 | |
| -1 | -33,402,523 |
Now, we try dividing 33,402,523 by 3:
33,402,523 ÷ 3 = 11,134,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,134,174.3333 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 | 33,402,523 | |
| -1 | -33,402,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,402,523 ÷ 4 = 8,350,630.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,350,630.75 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 | 33,402,523 | |
| -1 | 33,402,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 373 | 1,163 | 2,611 | 4,103 | 8,141 | 12,793 | 28,721 | 89,551 | 433,799 | 3,036,593 | 4,771,789 | 33,402,523 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -373 | -1,163 | -2,611 | -4,103 | -8,141 | -12,793 | -28,721 | -89,551 | -433,799 | -3,036,593 | -4,771,789 | -33,402,523 |
