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 3,084,335, 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 | 3,084,335 | |
| -1 | -3,084,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,084,335.
Example:
1 x 3,084,335 = 3,084,335
and
-1 x -3,084,335 = 3,084,335
Notice both answers equal 3,084,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,084,335 and divide it by 2:
3,084,335 ÷ 2 = 1,542,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,542,167.5 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 | 3,084,335 | |
| -1 | -3,084,335 |
Now, we try dividing 3,084,335 by 3:
3,084,335 ÷ 3 = 1,028,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,028,111.6667 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 | 3,084,335 | |
| -1 | -3,084,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,084,335 ÷ 4 = 771,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 771,083.75 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 | 3,084,335 | |
| -1 | 3,084,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 103 | 113 | 265 | 515 | 565 | 5,459 | 5,989 | 11,639 | 27,295 | 29,945 | 58,195 | 616,867 | 3,084,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -103 | -113 | -265 | -515 | -565 | -5,459 | -5,989 | -11,639 | -27,295 | -29,945 | -58,195 | -616,867 | -3,084,335 |
