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 3,284,225, 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 | 3,284,225 | |
| -1 | -3,284,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,284,225.
Example:
1 x 3,284,225 = 3,284,225
and
-1 x -3,284,225 = 3,284,225
Notice both answers equal 3,284,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,284,225 and divide it by 2:
3,284,225 ÷ 2 = 1,642,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,642,112.5 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 | 3,284,225 | |
| -1 | -3,284,225 |
Now, we try dividing 3,284,225 by 3:
3,284,225 ÷ 3 = 1,094,741.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,094,741.6667 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 | 3,284,225 | |
| -1 | -3,284,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,284,225 ÷ 4 = 821,056.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 821,056.25 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 | 3,284,225 | |
| -1 | 3,284,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 343 | 383 | 1,225 | 1,715 | 1,915 | 2,681 | 8,575 | 9,575 | 13,405 | 18,767 | 67,025 | 93,835 | 131,369 | 469,175 | 656,845 | 3,284,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -343 | -383 | -1,225 | -1,715 | -1,915 | -2,681 | -8,575 | -9,575 | -13,405 | -18,767 | -67,025 | -93,835 | -131,369 | -469,175 | -656,845 | -3,284,225 |
