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 3,062,087, 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 | 3,062,087 | |
| -1 | -3,062,087 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,062,087.
Example:
1 x 3,062,087 = 3,062,087
and
-1 x -3,062,087 = 3,062,087
Notice both answers equal 3,062,087
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,062,087 and divide it by 2:
3,062,087 ÷ 2 = 1,531,043.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,531,043.5 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 | 3,062,087 | |
| -1 | -3,062,087 |
Now, we try dividing 3,062,087 by 3:
3,062,087 ÷ 3 = 1,020,695.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,020,695.6667 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 | 3,062,087 | |
| -1 | -3,062,087 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,062,087 ÷ 4 = 765,521.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 765,521.75 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 | 3,062,087 | |
| -1 | 3,062,087 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 103 | 137 | 217 | 721 | 959 | 3,193 | 4,247 | 14,111 | 22,351 | 29,729 | 98,777 | 437,441 | 3,062,087 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -103 | -137 | -217 | -721 | -959 | -3,193 | -4,247 | -14,111 | -22,351 | -29,729 | -98,777 | -437,441 | -3,062,087 |
