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 3,289,069, 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 | 3,289,069 | |
| -1 | -3,289,069 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,289,069.
Example:
1 x 3,289,069 = 3,289,069
and
-1 x -3,289,069 = 3,289,069
Notice both answers equal 3,289,069
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,289,069 and divide it by 2:
3,289,069 ÷ 2 = 1,644,534.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,644,534.5 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 | 3,289,069 | |
| -1 | -3,289,069 |
Now, we try dividing 3,289,069 by 3:
3,289,069 ÷ 3 = 1,096,356.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,096,356.3333 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 | 3,289,069 | |
| -1 | -3,289,069 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,289,069 ÷ 4 = 822,267.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 822,267.25 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 | 3,289,069 | |
| -1 | 3,289,069 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 659 | 713 | 4,613 | 4,991 | 15,157 | 20,429 | 106,099 | 143,003 | 469,867 | 3,289,069 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -659 | -713 | -4,613 | -4,991 | -15,157 | -20,429 | -106,099 | -143,003 | -469,867 | -3,289,069 |
