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 33,424,045, 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 | 33,424,045 | |
| -1 | -33,424,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,424,045.
Example:
1 x 33,424,045 = 33,424,045
and
-1 x -33,424,045 = 33,424,045
Notice both answers equal 33,424,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,424,045 and divide it by 2:
33,424,045 ÷ 2 = 16,712,022.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,712,022.5 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 | 33,424,045 | |
| -1 | -33,424,045 |
Now, we try dividing 33,424,045 by 3:
33,424,045 ÷ 3 = 11,141,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,141,348.3333 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 | 33,424,045 | |
| -1 | -33,424,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,424,045 ÷ 4 = 8,356,011.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,356,011.25 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 | 33,424,045 | |
| -1 | 33,424,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 155 | 191 | 955 | 1,129 | 5,645 | 5,921 | 29,605 | 34,999 | 174,995 | 215,639 | 1,078,195 | 6,684,809 | 33,424,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -155 | -191 | -955 | -1,129 | -5,645 | -5,921 | -29,605 | -34,999 | -174,995 | -215,639 | -1,078,195 | -6,684,809 | -33,424,045 |
