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 33,846,815, 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 | 33,846,815 | |
| -1 | -33,846,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,846,815.
Example:
1 x 33,846,815 = 33,846,815
and
-1 x -33,846,815 = 33,846,815
Notice both answers equal 33,846,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,846,815 and divide it by 2:
33,846,815 ÷ 2 = 16,923,407.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,923,407.5 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 | 33,846,815 | |
| -1 | -33,846,815 |
Now, we try dividing 33,846,815 by 3:
33,846,815 ÷ 3 = 11,282,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,282,271.6667 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 | 33,846,815 | |
| -1 | -33,846,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,846,815 ÷ 4 = 8,461,703.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,461,703.75 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 | 33,846,815 | |
| -1 | 33,846,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 73 | 235 | 365 | 1,973 | 3,431 | 9,865 | 17,155 | 92,731 | 144,029 | 463,655 | 720,145 | 6,769,363 | 33,846,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -73 | -235 | -365 | -1,973 | -3,431 | -9,865 | -17,155 | -92,731 | -144,029 | -463,655 | -720,145 | -6,769,363 | -33,846,815 |
