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 3,253,313, 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 | 3,253,313 | |
| -1 | -3,253,313 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,253,313.
Example:
1 x 3,253,313 = 3,253,313
and
-1 x -3,253,313 = 3,253,313
Notice both answers equal 3,253,313
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,253,313 and divide it by 2:
3,253,313 ÷ 2 = 1,626,656.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,626,656.5 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 | 3,253,313 | |
| -1 | -3,253,313 |
Now, we try dividing 3,253,313 by 3:
3,253,313 ÷ 3 = 1,084,437.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,084,437.6667 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 | 3,253,313 | |
| -1 | -3,253,313 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,253,313 ÷ 4 = 813,328.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 813,328.25 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 | 3,253,313 | |
| -1 | 3,253,313 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 61 | 133 | 401 | 427 | 1,159 | 2,807 | 7,619 | 8,113 | 24,461 | 53,333 | 171,227 | 464,759 | 3,253,313 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -61 | -133 | -401 | -427 | -1,159 | -2,807 | -7,619 | -8,113 | -24,461 | -53,333 | -171,227 | -464,759 | -3,253,313 |
