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 3,043,579, 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 | 3,043,579 | |
| -1 | -3,043,579 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,043,579.
Example:
1 x 3,043,579 = 3,043,579
and
-1 x -3,043,579 = 3,043,579
Notice both answers equal 3,043,579
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,043,579 and divide it by 2:
3,043,579 ÷ 2 = 1,521,789.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,521,789.5 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 | 3,043,579 | |
| -1 | -3,043,579 |
Now, we try dividing 3,043,579 by 3:
3,043,579 ÷ 3 = 1,014,526.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,014,526.3333 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 | 3,043,579 | |
| -1 | -3,043,579 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,043,579 ÷ 4 = 760,894.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 760,894.75 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 | 3,043,579 | |
| -1 | 3,043,579 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 29 | 47 | 77 | 203 | 319 | 329 | 517 | 841 | 1,363 | 2,233 | 3,619 | 5,887 | 9,251 | 9,541 | 14,993 | 39,527 | 64,757 | 104,951 | 276,689 | 434,797 | 3,043,579 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -29 | -47 | -77 | -203 | -319 | -329 | -517 | -841 | -1,363 | -2,233 | -3,619 | -5,887 | -9,251 | -9,541 | -14,993 | -39,527 | -64,757 | -104,951 | -276,689 | -434,797 | -3,043,579 |
