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 3,212,825, 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 | 3,212,825 | |
| -1 | -3,212,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,212,825.
Example:
1 x 3,212,825 = 3,212,825
and
-1 x -3,212,825 = 3,212,825
Notice both answers equal 3,212,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,212,825 and divide it by 2:
3,212,825 ÷ 2 = 1,606,412.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,606,412.5 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 | 3,212,825 | |
| -1 | -3,212,825 |
Now, we try dividing 3,212,825 by 3:
3,212,825 ÷ 3 = 1,070,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,070,941.6667 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 | 3,212,825 | |
| -1 | -3,212,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,212,825 ÷ 4 = 803,206.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 803,206.25 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 | 3,212,825 | |
| -1 | 3,212,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 25 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 175 | 275 | 385 | 1,669 | 1,925 | 8,345 | 11,683 | 18,359 | 41,725 | 58,415 | 91,795 | 128,513 | 292,075 | 458,975 | 642,565 | 3,212,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -25 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -175 | -275 | -385 | -1,669 | -1,925 | -8,345 | -11,683 | -18,359 | -41,725 | -58,415 | -91,795 | -128,513 | -292,075 | -458,975 | -642,565 | -3,212,825 |
