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 3,267,451, 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 | 3,267,451 | |
| -1 | -3,267,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,267,451.
Example:
1 x 3,267,451 = 3,267,451
and
-1 x -3,267,451 = 3,267,451
Notice both answers equal 3,267,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,267,451 and divide it by 2:
3,267,451 ÷ 2 = 1,633,725.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,633,725.5 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 | 3,267,451 | |
| -1 | -3,267,451 |
Now, we try dividing 3,267,451 by 3:
3,267,451 ÷ 3 = 1,089,150.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,089,150.3333 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 | 3,267,451 | |
| -1 | -3,267,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,267,451 ÷ 4 = 816,862.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 816,862.75 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 | 3,267,451 | |
| -1 | 3,267,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 101 | 173 | 187 | 1,111 | 1,717 | 1,903 | 2,941 | 17,473 | 18,887 | 32,351 | 192,203 | 297,041 | 3,267,451 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -101 | -173 | -187 | -1,111 | -1,717 | -1,903 | -2,941 | -17,473 | -18,887 | -32,351 | -192,203 | -297,041 | -3,267,451 |
