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 3,014,011, 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 | 3,014,011 | |
| -1 | -3,014,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,014,011.
Example:
1 x 3,014,011 = 3,014,011
and
-1 x -3,014,011 = 3,014,011
Notice both answers equal 3,014,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,014,011 and divide it by 2:
3,014,011 ÷ 2 = 1,507,005.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,507,005.5 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 | 3,014,011 | |
| -1 | -3,014,011 |
Now, we try dividing 3,014,011 by 3:
3,014,011 ÷ 3 = 1,004,670.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,004,670.3333 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 | 3,014,011 | |
| -1 | -3,014,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,014,011 ÷ 4 = 753,502.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 753,502.75 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 | 3,014,011 | |
| -1 | 3,014,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 3,011 | 21,077 | 33,121 | 39,143 | 231,847 | 274,001 | 430,573 | 3,014,011 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -3,011 | -21,077 | -33,121 | -39,143 | -231,847 | -274,001 | -430,573 | -3,014,011 |
