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 3,267,677, 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 | 3,267,677 | |
| -1 | -3,267,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,267,677.
Example:
1 x 3,267,677 = 3,267,677
and
-1 x -3,267,677 = 3,267,677
Notice both answers equal 3,267,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,267,677 and divide it by 2:
3,267,677 ÷ 2 = 1,633,838.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,633,838.5 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 | 3,267,677 | |
| -1 | -3,267,677 |
Now, we try dividing 3,267,677 by 3:
3,267,677 ÷ 3 = 1,089,225.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,089,225.6667 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 | 3,267,677 | |
| -1 | -3,267,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,267,677 ÷ 4 = 816,919.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 816,919.25 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 | 3,267,677 | |
| -1 | 3,267,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 79 | 133 | 311 | 553 | 1,501 | 2,177 | 5,909 | 10,507 | 24,569 | 41,363 | 171,983 | 466,811 | 3,267,677 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -79 | -133 | -311 | -553 | -1,501 | -2,177 | -5,909 | -10,507 | -24,569 | -41,363 | -171,983 | -466,811 | -3,267,677 |
