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 3,233,725, 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 | 3,233,725 | |
| -1 | -3,233,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,233,725.
Example:
1 x 3,233,725 = 3,233,725
and
-1 x -3,233,725 = 3,233,725
Notice both answers equal 3,233,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,233,725 and divide it by 2:
3,233,725 ÷ 2 = 1,616,862.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,616,862.5 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 | 3,233,725 | |
| -1 | -3,233,725 |
Now, we try dividing 3,233,725 by 3:
3,233,725 ÷ 3 = 1,077,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,077,908.3333 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 | 3,233,725 | |
| -1 | -3,233,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,233,725 ÷ 4 = 808,431.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 808,431.25 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 | 3,233,725 | |
| -1 | 3,233,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 121 | 275 | 605 | 1,069 | 3,025 | 5,345 | 11,759 | 26,725 | 58,795 | 129,349 | 293,975 | 646,745 | 3,233,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -121 | -275 | -605 | -1,069 | -3,025 | -5,345 | -11,759 | -26,725 | -58,795 | -129,349 | -293,975 | -646,745 | -3,233,725 |
