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 3,060,379, 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 | 3,060,379 | |
| -1 | -3,060,379 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,060,379.
Example:
1 x 3,060,379 = 3,060,379
and
-1 x -3,060,379 = 3,060,379
Notice both answers equal 3,060,379
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,060,379 and divide it by 2:
3,060,379 ÷ 2 = 1,530,189.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,530,189.5 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 | 3,060,379 | |
| -1 | -3,060,379 |
Now, we try dividing 3,060,379 by 3:
3,060,379 ÷ 3 = 1,020,126.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,020,126.3333 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 | 3,060,379 | |
| -1 | -3,060,379 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,060,379 ÷ 4 = 765,094.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 765,094.75 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 | 3,060,379 | |
| -1 | 3,060,379 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 73 | 113 | 371 | 511 | 791 | 3,869 | 5,989 | 8,249 | 27,083 | 41,923 | 57,743 | 437,197 | 3,060,379 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -73 | -113 | -371 | -511 | -791 | -3,869 | -5,989 | -8,249 | -27,083 | -41,923 | -57,743 | -437,197 | -3,060,379 |
