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 3,088,325, 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 | 3,088,325 | |
| -1 | -3,088,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,088,325.
Example:
1 x 3,088,325 = 3,088,325
and
-1 x -3,088,325 = 3,088,325
Notice both answers equal 3,088,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,088,325 and divide it by 2:
3,088,325 ÷ 2 = 1,544,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,544,162.5 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 | 3,088,325 | |
| -1 | -3,088,325 |
Now, we try dividing 3,088,325 by 3:
3,088,325 ÷ 3 = 1,029,441.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,029,441.6667 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 | 3,088,325 | |
| -1 | -3,088,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,088,325 ÷ 4 = 772,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 772,081.25 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 | 3,088,325 | |
| -1 | 3,088,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 41 | 115 | 131 | 205 | 575 | 655 | 943 | 1,025 | 3,013 | 3,275 | 4,715 | 5,371 | 15,065 | 23,575 | 26,855 | 75,325 | 123,533 | 134,275 | 617,665 | 3,088,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -41 | -115 | -131 | -205 | -575 | -655 | -943 | -1,025 | -3,013 | -3,275 | -4,715 | -5,371 | -15,065 | -23,575 | -26,855 | -75,325 | -123,533 | -134,275 | -617,665 | -3,088,325 |
