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 3,014,869, 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 | 3,014,869 | |
| -1 | -3,014,869 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,014,869.
Example:
1 x 3,014,869 = 3,014,869
and
-1 x -3,014,869 = 3,014,869
Notice both answers equal 3,014,869
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,014,869 and divide it by 2:
3,014,869 ÷ 2 = 1,507,434.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,507,434.5 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 | 3,014,869 | |
| -1 | -3,014,869 |
Now, we try dividing 3,014,869 by 3:
3,014,869 ÷ 3 = 1,004,956.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,004,956.3333 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 | 3,014,869 | |
| -1 | -3,014,869 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,014,869 ÷ 4 = 753,717.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 753,717.25 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 | 3,014,869 | |
| -1 | 3,014,869 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 29 | 143 | 319 | 377 | 727 | 4,147 | 7,997 | 9,451 | 21,083 | 103,961 | 231,913 | 274,079 | 3,014,869 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -29 | -143 | -319 | -377 | -727 | -4,147 | -7,997 | -9,451 | -21,083 | -103,961 | -231,913 | -274,079 | -3,014,869 |
