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 33,442,465, 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 | 33,442,465 | |
| -1 | -33,442,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,442,465.
Example:
1 x 33,442,465 = 33,442,465
and
-1 x -33,442,465 = 33,442,465
Notice both answers equal 33,442,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,442,465 and divide it by 2:
33,442,465 ÷ 2 = 16,721,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,721,232.5 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 | 33,442,465 | |
| -1 | -33,442,465 |
Now, we try dividing 33,442,465 by 3:
33,442,465 ÷ 3 = 11,147,488.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,147,488.3333 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 | 33,442,465 | |
| -1 | -33,442,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,442,465 ÷ 4 = 8,360,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,360,616.25 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 | 33,442,465 | |
| -1 | 33,442,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 181 | 905 | 1,267 | 5,279 | 6,335 | 26,395 | 36,953 | 184,765 | 955,499 | 4,777,495 | 6,688,493 | 33,442,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -181 | -905 | -1,267 | -5,279 | -6,335 | -26,395 | -36,953 | -184,765 | -955,499 | -4,777,495 | -6,688,493 | -33,442,465 |
