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 3,293,801, 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 | 3,293,801 | |
| -1 | -3,293,801 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,293,801.
Example:
1 x 3,293,801 = 3,293,801
and
-1 x -3,293,801 = 3,293,801
Notice both answers equal 3,293,801
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,293,801 and divide it by 2:
3,293,801 ÷ 2 = 1,646,900.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,646,900.5 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 | 3,293,801 | |
| -1 | -3,293,801 |
Now, we try dividing 3,293,801 by 3:
3,293,801 ÷ 3 = 1,097,933.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,097,933.6667 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 | 3,293,801 | |
| -1 | -3,293,801 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,293,801 ÷ 4 = 823,450.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 823,450.25 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 | 3,293,801 | |
| -1 | 3,293,801 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 89 | 119 | 311 | 623 | 1,513 | 2,177 | 5,287 | 10,591 | 27,679 | 37,009 | 193,753 | 470,543 | 3,293,801 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -89 | -119 | -311 | -623 | -1,513 | -2,177 | -5,287 | -10,591 | -27,679 | -37,009 | -193,753 | -470,543 | -3,293,801 |
