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 3,268,069, 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 | 3,268,069 | |
| -1 | -3,268,069 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,268,069.
Example:
1 x 3,268,069 = 3,268,069
and
-1 x -3,268,069 = 3,268,069
Notice both answers equal 3,268,069
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,268,069 and divide it by 2:
3,268,069 ÷ 2 = 1,634,034.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,634,034.5 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 | 3,268,069 | |
| -1 | -3,268,069 |
Now, we try dividing 3,268,069 by 3:
3,268,069 ÷ 3 = 1,089,356.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,089,356.3333 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 | 3,268,069 | |
| -1 | -3,268,069 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,268,069 ÷ 4 = 817,017.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 817,017.25 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 | 3,268,069 | |
| -1 | 3,268,069 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 59 | 193 | 287 | 413 | 1,351 | 2,419 | 7,913 | 11,387 | 16,933 | 55,391 | 79,709 | 466,867 | 3,268,069 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -59 | -193 | -287 | -413 | -1,351 | -2,419 | -7,913 | -11,387 | -16,933 | -55,391 | -79,709 | -466,867 | -3,268,069 |
