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 3,274,579, 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 | 3,274,579 | |
| -1 | -3,274,579 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,274,579.
Example:
1 x 3,274,579 = 3,274,579
and
-1 x -3,274,579 = 3,274,579
Notice both answers equal 3,274,579
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,274,579 and divide it by 2:
3,274,579 ÷ 2 = 1,637,289.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,637,289.5 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 | 3,274,579 | |
| -1 | -3,274,579 |
Now, we try dividing 3,274,579 by 3:
3,274,579 ÷ 3 = 1,091,526.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,091,526.3333 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 | 3,274,579 | |
| -1 | -3,274,579 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,274,579 ÷ 4 = 818,644.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 818,644.75 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 | 3,274,579 | |
| -1 | 3,274,579 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 43 | 77 | 161 | 253 | 301 | 473 | 989 | 1,771 | 1,849 | 3,311 | 6,923 | 10,879 | 12,943 | 20,339 | 42,527 | 76,153 | 142,373 | 297,689 | 467,797 | 3,274,579 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -43 | -77 | -161 | -253 | -301 | -473 | -989 | -1,771 | -1,849 | -3,311 | -6,923 | -10,879 | -12,943 | -20,339 | -42,527 | -76,153 | -142,373 | -297,689 | -467,797 | -3,274,579 |
