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 3,044,635, 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 | 3,044,635 | |
| -1 | -3,044,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,044,635.
Example:
1 x 3,044,635 = 3,044,635
and
-1 x -3,044,635 = 3,044,635
Notice both answers equal 3,044,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,044,635 and divide it by 2:
3,044,635 ÷ 2 = 1,522,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,522,317.5 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 | 3,044,635 | |
| -1 | -3,044,635 |
Now, we try dividing 3,044,635 by 3:
3,044,635 ÷ 3 = 1,014,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,014,878.3333 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 | 3,044,635 | |
| -1 | -3,044,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,044,635 ÷ 4 = 761,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 761,158.75 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 | 3,044,635 | |
| -1 | 3,044,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 197 | 281 | 985 | 1,405 | 2,167 | 3,091 | 10,835 | 15,455 | 55,357 | 276,785 | 608,927 | 3,044,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -197 | -281 | -985 | -1,405 | -2,167 | -3,091 | -10,835 | -15,455 | -55,357 | -276,785 | -608,927 | -3,044,635 |
