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 3,206,375, 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 | 3,206,375 | |
| -1 | -3,206,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,206,375.
Example:
1 x 3,206,375 = 3,206,375
and
-1 x -3,206,375 = 3,206,375
Notice both answers equal 3,206,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,206,375 and divide it by 2:
3,206,375 ÷ 2 = 1,603,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,603,187.5 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 | 3,206,375 | |
| -1 | -3,206,375 |
Now, we try dividing 3,206,375 by 3:
3,206,375 ÷ 3 = 1,068,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,068,791.6667 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 | 3,206,375 | |
| -1 | -3,206,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,206,375 ÷ 4 = 801,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 801,593.75 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 | 3,206,375 | |
| -1 | 3,206,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 113 | 125 | 227 | 565 | 1,135 | 2,825 | 5,675 | 14,125 | 25,651 | 28,375 | 128,255 | 641,275 | 3,206,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -113 | -125 | -227 | -565 | -1,135 | -2,825 | -5,675 | -14,125 | -25,651 | -28,375 | -128,255 | -641,275 | -3,206,375 |
