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 3,014,345, 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 | 3,014,345 | |
| -1 | -3,014,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,014,345.
Example:
1 x 3,014,345 = 3,014,345
and
-1 x -3,014,345 = 3,014,345
Notice both answers equal 3,014,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,014,345 and divide it by 2:
3,014,345 ÷ 2 = 1,507,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,507,172.5 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 | 3,014,345 | |
| -1 | -3,014,345 |
Now, we try dividing 3,014,345 by 3:
3,014,345 ÷ 3 = 1,004,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,004,781.6667 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 | 3,014,345 | |
| -1 | -3,014,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,014,345 ÷ 4 = 753,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 753,586.25 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 | 3,014,345 | |
| -1 | 3,014,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 101 | 127 | 235 | 505 | 635 | 4,747 | 5,969 | 12,827 | 23,735 | 29,845 | 64,135 | 602,869 | 3,014,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -101 | -127 | -235 | -505 | -635 | -4,747 | -5,969 | -12,827 | -23,735 | -29,845 | -64,135 | -602,869 | -3,014,345 |
