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 3,260,033, 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 | 3,260,033 | |
| -1 | -3,260,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,260,033.
Example:
1 x 3,260,033 = 3,260,033
and
-1 x -3,260,033 = 3,260,033
Notice both answers equal 3,260,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,260,033 and divide it by 2:
3,260,033 ÷ 2 = 1,630,016.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,630,016.5 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 | 3,260,033 | |
| -1 | -3,260,033 |
Now, we try dividing 3,260,033 by 3:
3,260,033 ÷ 3 = 1,086,677.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,086,677.6667 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 | 3,260,033 | |
| -1 | -3,260,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,260,033 ÷ 4 = 815,008.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 815,008.25 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 | 3,260,033 | |
| -1 | 3,260,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 41 | 259 | 287 | 307 | 1,517 | 2,149 | 10,619 | 11,359 | 12,587 | 79,513 | 88,109 | 465,719 | 3,260,033 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -41 | -259 | -287 | -307 | -1,517 | -2,149 | -10,619 | -11,359 | -12,587 | -79,513 | -88,109 | -465,719 | -3,260,033 |
