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 3,272,269, 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 | 3,272,269 | |
| -1 | -3,272,269 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,272,269.
Example:
1 x 3,272,269 = 3,272,269
and
-1 x -3,272,269 = 3,272,269
Notice both answers equal 3,272,269
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,272,269 and divide it by 2:
3,272,269 ÷ 2 = 1,636,134.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,636,134.5 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 | 3,272,269 | |
| -1 | -3,272,269 |
Now, we try dividing 3,272,269 by 3:
3,272,269 ÷ 3 = 1,090,756.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,090,756.3333 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 | 3,272,269 | |
| -1 | -3,272,269 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,272,269 ÷ 4 = 818,067.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 818,067.25 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 | 3,272,269 | |
| -1 | 3,272,269 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 49 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 467 | 539 | 637 | 1,001 | 3,269 | 5,137 | 6,071 | 7,007 | 22,883 | 35,959 | 42,497 | 66,781 | 251,713 | 297,479 | 467,467 | 3,272,269 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -49 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -467 | -539 | -637 | -1,001 | -3,269 | -5,137 | -6,071 | -7,007 | -22,883 | -35,959 | -42,497 | -66,781 | -251,713 | -297,479 | -467,467 | -3,272,269 |
