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 3,105,575, 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 | 3,105,575 | |
| -1 | -3,105,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,105,575.
Example:
1 x 3,105,575 = 3,105,575
and
-1 x -3,105,575 = 3,105,575
Notice both answers equal 3,105,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,105,575 and divide it by 2:
3,105,575 ÷ 2 = 1,552,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,552,787.5 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 | 3,105,575 | |
| -1 | -3,105,575 |
Now, we try dividing 3,105,575 by 3:
3,105,575 ÷ 3 = 1,035,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,035,191.6667 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 | 3,105,575 | |
| -1 | -3,105,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,105,575 ÷ 4 = 776,393.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 776,393.75 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 | 3,105,575 | |
| -1 | 3,105,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 25 | 55 | 115 | 253 | 275 | 491 | 575 | 1,265 | 2,455 | 5,401 | 6,325 | 11,293 | 12,275 | 27,005 | 56,465 | 124,223 | 135,025 | 282,325 | 621,115 | 3,105,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -25 | -55 | -115 | -253 | -275 | -491 | -575 | -1,265 | -2,455 | -5,401 | -6,325 | -11,293 | -12,275 | -27,005 | -56,465 | -124,223 | -135,025 | -282,325 | -621,115 | -3,105,575 |
