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 33,556,355, 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 | 33,556,355 | |
| -1 | -33,556,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,556,355.
Example:
1 x 33,556,355 = 33,556,355
and
-1 x -33,556,355 = 33,556,355
Notice both answers equal 33,556,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,556,355 and divide it by 2:
33,556,355 ÷ 2 = 16,778,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,778,177.5 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 | 33,556,355 | |
| -1 | -33,556,355 |
Now, we try dividing 33,556,355 by 3:
33,556,355 ÷ 3 = 11,185,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,185,451.6667 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 | 33,556,355 | |
| -1 | -33,556,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,556,355 ÷ 4 = 8,389,088.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,389,088.75 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 | 33,556,355 | |
| -1 | 33,556,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 47 | 235 | 329 | 1,645 | 20,399 | 101,995 | 142,793 | 713,965 | 958,753 | 4,793,765 | 6,711,271 | 33,556,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -47 | -235 | -329 | -1,645 | -20,399 | -101,995 | -142,793 | -713,965 | -958,753 | -4,793,765 | -6,711,271 | -33,556,355 |
