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 3,204,751, 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 | 3,204,751 | |
| -1 | -3,204,751 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,204,751.
Example:
1 x 3,204,751 = 3,204,751
and
-1 x -3,204,751 = 3,204,751
Notice both answers equal 3,204,751
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,204,751 and divide it by 2:
3,204,751 ÷ 2 = 1,602,375.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,602,375.5 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 | 3,204,751 | |
| -1 | -3,204,751 |
Now, we try dividing 3,204,751 by 3:
3,204,751 ÷ 3 = 1,068,250.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,068,250.3333 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 | 3,204,751 | |
| -1 | -3,204,751 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,204,751 ÷ 4 = 801,187.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 801,187.75 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 | 3,204,751 | |
| -1 | 3,204,751 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 53 | 239 | 253 | 583 | 1,219 | 2,629 | 5,497 | 12,667 | 13,409 | 60,467 | 139,337 | 291,341 | 3,204,751 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -53 | -239 | -253 | -583 | -1,219 | -2,629 | -5,497 | -12,667 | -13,409 | -60,467 | -139,337 | -291,341 | -3,204,751 |
