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 3,202,507, 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 | 3,202,507 | |
| -1 | -3,202,507 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,202,507.
Example:
1 x 3,202,507 = 3,202,507
and
-1 x -3,202,507 = 3,202,507
Notice both answers equal 3,202,507
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,202,507 and divide it by 2:
3,202,507 ÷ 2 = 1,601,253.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,601,253.5 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 | 3,202,507 | |
| -1 | -3,202,507 |
Now, we try dividing 3,202,507 by 3:
3,202,507 ÷ 3 = 1,067,502.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,067,502.3333 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 | 3,202,507 | |
| -1 | -3,202,507 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,202,507 ÷ 4 = 800,626.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 800,626.75 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 | 3,202,507 | |
| -1 | 3,202,507 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 19 | 77 | 121 | 133 | 199 | 209 | 847 | 1,393 | 1,463 | 2,189 | 2,299 | 3,781 | 15,323 | 16,093 | 24,079 | 26,467 | 41,591 | 168,553 | 291,137 | 457,501 | 3,202,507 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -19 | -77 | -121 | -133 | -199 | -209 | -847 | -1,393 | -1,463 | -2,189 | -2,299 | -3,781 | -15,323 | -16,093 | -24,079 | -26,467 | -41,591 | -168,553 | -291,137 | -457,501 | -3,202,507 |
