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 3,277,339, 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 | 3,277,339 | |
| -1 | -3,277,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,277,339.
Example:
1 x 3,277,339 = 3,277,339
and
-1 x -3,277,339 = 3,277,339
Notice both answers equal 3,277,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,277,339 and divide it by 2:
3,277,339 ÷ 2 = 1,638,669.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,638,669.5 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 | 3,277,339 | |
| -1 | -3,277,339 |
Now, we try dividing 3,277,339 by 3:
3,277,339 ÷ 3 = 1,092,446.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,092,446.3333 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 | 3,277,339 | |
| -1 | -3,277,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,277,339 ÷ 4 = 819,334.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 819,334.75 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 | 3,277,339 | |
| -1 | 3,277,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 97 | 113 | 299 | 1,261 | 1,469 | 2,231 | 2,599 | 10,961 | 29,003 | 33,787 | 142,493 | 252,103 | 3,277,339 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -97 | -113 | -299 | -1,261 | -1,469 | -2,231 | -2,599 | -10,961 | -29,003 | -33,787 | -142,493 | -252,103 | -3,277,339 |
