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 3,036,341, 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 | 3,036,341 | |
| -1 | -3,036,341 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,036,341.
Example:
1 x 3,036,341 = 3,036,341
and
-1 x -3,036,341 = 3,036,341
Notice both answers equal 3,036,341
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,036,341 and divide it by 2:
3,036,341 ÷ 2 = 1,518,170.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,518,170.5 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 | 3,036,341 | |
| -1 | -3,036,341 |
Now, we try dividing 3,036,341 by 3:
3,036,341 ÷ 3 = 1,012,113.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,012,113.6667 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 | 3,036,341 | |
| -1 | -3,036,341 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,036,341 ÷ 4 = 759,085.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 759,085.25 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 | 3,036,341 | |
| -1 | 3,036,341 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 47 | 77 | 329 | 517 | 839 | 3,619 | 5,873 | 9,229 | 39,433 | 64,603 | 276,031 | 433,763 | 3,036,341 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -47 | -77 | -329 | -517 | -839 | -3,619 | -5,873 | -9,229 | -39,433 | -64,603 | -276,031 | -433,763 | -3,036,341 |
