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 33,585,865, 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 | 33,585,865 | |
| -1 | -33,585,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,585,865.
Example:
1 x 33,585,865 = 33,585,865
and
-1 x -33,585,865 = 33,585,865
Notice both answers equal 33,585,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,585,865 and divide it by 2:
33,585,865 ÷ 2 = 16,792,932.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,792,932.5 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 | 33,585,865 | |
| -1 | -33,585,865 |
Now, we try dividing 33,585,865 by 3:
33,585,865 ÷ 3 = 11,195,288.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,195,288.3333 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 | 33,585,865 | |
| -1 | -33,585,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,585,865 ÷ 4 = 8,396,466.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,396,466.25 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 | 33,585,865 | |
| -1 | 33,585,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 31 | 115 | 155 | 713 | 3,565 | 9,421 | 47,105 | 216,683 | 292,051 | 1,083,415 | 1,460,255 | 6,717,173 | 33,585,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -31 | -115 | -155 | -713 | -3,565 | -9,421 | -47,105 | -216,683 | -292,051 | -1,083,415 | -1,460,255 | -6,717,173 | -33,585,865 |
