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 33,833,383, 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 | 33,833,383 | |
| -1 | -33,833,383 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,833,383.
Example:
1 x 33,833,383 = 33,833,383
and
-1 x -33,833,383 = 33,833,383
Notice both answers equal 33,833,383
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,833,383 and divide it by 2:
33,833,383 ÷ 2 = 16,916,691.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,916,691.5 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 | 33,833,383 | |
| -1 | -33,833,383 |
Now, we try dividing 33,833,383 by 3:
33,833,383 ÷ 3 = 11,277,794.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,277,794.3333 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 | 33,833,383 | |
| -1 | -33,833,383 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,833,383 ÷ 4 = 8,458,345.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,458,345.75 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 | 33,833,383 | |
| -1 | 33,833,383 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 73 | 137 | 199 | 1,241 | 2,329 | 3,383 | 10,001 | 14,527 | 27,263 | 170,017 | 246,959 | 463,471 | 1,990,199 | 33,833,383 |
| -1 | -17 | -73 | -137 | -199 | -1,241 | -2,329 | -3,383 | -10,001 | -14,527 | -27,263 | -170,017 | -246,959 | -463,471 | -1,990,199 | -33,833,383 |
