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 3,032,239, 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 | 3,032,239 | |
| -1 | -3,032,239 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,032,239.
Example:
1 x 3,032,239 = 3,032,239
and
-1 x -3,032,239 = 3,032,239
Notice both answers equal 3,032,239
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,032,239 and divide it by 2:
3,032,239 ÷ 2 = 1,516,119.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,516,119.5 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 | 3,032,239 | |
| -1 | -3,032,239 |
Now, we try dividing 3,032,239 by 3:
3,032,239 ÷ 3 = 1,010,746.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,010,746.3333 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 | 3,032,239 | |
| -1 | -3,032,239 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,032,239 ÷ 4 = 758,059.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 758,059.75 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 | 3,032,239 | |
| -1 | 3,032,239 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 83 | 119 | 307 | 581 | 1,411 | 2,149 | 5,219 | 9,877 | 25,481 | 36,533 | 178,367 | 433,177 | 3,032,239 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -83 | -119 | -307 | -581 | -1,411 | -2,149 | -5,219 | -9,877 | -25,481 | -36,533 | -178,367 | -433,177 | -3,032,239 |
