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 3,096,835, 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 | 3,096,835 | |
| -1 | -3,096,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,096,835.
Example:
1 x 3,096,835 = 3,096,835
and
-1 x -3,096,835 = 3,096,835
Notice both answers equal 3,096,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,096,835 and divide it by 2:
3,096,835 ÷ 2 = 1,548,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,548,417.5 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 | 3,096,835 | |
| -1 | -3,096,835 |
Now, we try dividing 3,096,835 by 3:
3,096,835 ÷ 3 = 1,032,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,032,278.3333 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 | 3,096,835 | |
| -1 | -3,096,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,096,835 ÷ 4 = 774,208.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 774,208.75 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 | 3,096,835 | |
| -1 | 3,096,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 3,847 | 19,235 | 26,929 | 88,481 | 134,645 | 442,405 | 619,367 | 3,096,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -3,847 | -19,235 | -26,929 | -88,481 | -134,645 | -442,405 | -619,367 | -3,096,835 |
