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 3,252,665, 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 | 3,252,665 | |
| -1 | -3,252,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,252,665.
Example:
1 x 3,252,665 = 3,252,665
and
-1 x -3,252,665 = 3,252,665
Notice both answers equal 3,252,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,252,665 and divide it by 2:
3,252,665 ÷ 2 = 1,626,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,626,332.5 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 | 3,252,665 | |
| -1 | -3,252,665 |
Now, we try dividing 3,252,665 by 3:
3,252,665 ÷ 3 = 1,084,221.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,084,221.6667 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 | 3,252,665 | |
| -1 | -3,252,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,252,665 ÷ 4 = 813,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 813,166.25 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 | 3,252,665 | |
| -1 | 3,252,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 163 | 307 | 815 | 1,535 | 2,119 | 3,991 | 10,595 | 19,955 | 50,041 | 250,205 | 650,533 | 3,252,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -163 | -307 | -815 | -1,535 | -2,119 | -3,991 | -10,595 | -19,955 | -50,041 | -250,205 | -650,533 | -3,252,665 |
