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 33,936,641, 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 | 33,936,641 | |
| -1 | -33,936,641 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,936,641.
Example:
1 x 33,936,641 = 33,936,641
and
-1 x -33,936,641 = 33,936,641
Notice both answers equal 33,936,641
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,936,641 and divide it by 2:
33,936,641 ÷ 2 = 16,968,320.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,968,320.5 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 | 33,936,641 | |
| -1 | -33,936,641 |
Now, we try dividing 33,936,641 by 3:
33,936,641 ÷ 3 = 11,312,213.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,312,213.6667 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 | 33,936,641 | |
| -1 | -33,936,641 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,936,641 ÷ 4 = 8,484,160.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,484,160.25 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 | 33,936,641 | |
| -1 | 33,936,641 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 29 | 323 | 493 | 551 | 3,623 | 9,367 | 61,591 | 68,837 | 105,067 | 1,170,229 | 1,786,139 | 1,996,273 | 33,936,641 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -29 | -323 | -493 | -551 | -3,623 | -9,367 | -61,591 | -68,837 | -105,067 | -1,170,229 | -1,786,139 | -1,996,273 | -33,936,641 |
