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 33,896,051, 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 | 33,896,051 | |
| -1 | -33,896,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,896,051.
Example:
1 x 33,896,051 = 33,896,051
and
-1 x -33,896,051 = 33,896,051
Notice both answers equal 33,896,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,896,051 and divide it by 2:
33,896,051 ÷ 2 = 16,948,025.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,948,025.5 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 | 33,896,051 | |
| -1 | -33,896,051 |
Now, we try dividing 33,896,051 by 3:
33,896,051 ÷ 3 = 11,298,683.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,298,683.6667 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 | 33,896,051 | |
| -1 | -33,896,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,896,051 ÷ 4 = 8,474,012.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,474,012.75 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 | 33,896,051 | |
| -1 | 33,896,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 181 | 217 | 863 | 1,267 | 5,611 | 6,041 | 26,753 | 39,277 | 156,203 | 187,271 | 1,093,421 | 4,842,293 | 33,896,051 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -181 | -217 | -863 | -1,267 | -5,611 | -6,041 | -26,753 | -39,277 | -156,203 | -187,271 | -1,093,421 | -4,842,293 | -33,896,051 |
