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 33,414,311, 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 | 33,414,311 | |
| -1 | -33,414,311 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,414,311.
Example:
1 x 33,414,311 = 33,414,311
and
-1 x -33,414,311 = 33,414,311
Notice both answers equal 33,414,311
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,414,311 and divide it by 2:
33,414,311 ÷ 2 = 16,707,155.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,707,155.5 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 | 33,414,311 | |
| -1 | -33,414,311 |
Now, we try dividing 33,414,311 by 3:
33,414,311 ÷ 3 = 11,138,103.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,138,103.6667 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 | 33,414,311 | |
| -1 | -33,414,311 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,414,311 ÷ 4 = 8,353,577.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,353,577.75 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 | 33,414,311 | |
| -1 | 33,414,311 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 43 | 217 | 301 | 1,333 | 3,581 | 9,331 | 25,067 | 111,011 | 153,983 | 777,077 | 1,077,881 | 4,773,473 | 33,414,311 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -43 | -217 | -301 | -1,333 | -3,581 | -9,331 | -25,067 | -111,011 | -153,983 | -777,077 | -1,077,881 | -4,773,473 | -33,414,311 |
