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 3,296,111, 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 | 3,296,111 | |
| -1 | -3,296,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,296,111.
Example:
1 x 3,296,111 = 3,296,111
and
-1 x -3,296,111 = 3,296,111
Notice both answers equal 3,296,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,296,111 and divide it by 2:
3,296,111 ÷ 2 = 1,648,055.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,648,055.5 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 | 3,296,111 | |
| -1 | -3,296,111 |
Now, we try dividing 3,296,111 by 3:
3,296,111 ÷ 3 = 1,098,703.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,098,703.6667 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 | 3,296,111 | |
| -1 | -3,296,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,296,111 ÷ 4 = 824,027.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 824,027.75 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 | 3,296,111 | |
| -1 | 3,296,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 91 | 203 | 377 | 1,249 | 2,639 | 8,743 | 16,237 | 36,221 | 113,659 | 253,547 | 470,873 | 3,296,111 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -91 | -203 | -377 | -1,249 | -2,639 | -8,743 | -16,237 | -36,221 | -113,659 | -253,547 | -470,873 | -3,296,111 |
