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 3,297,329, 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 | 3,297,329 | |
| -1 | -3,297,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,297,329.
Example:
1 x 3,297,329 = 3,297,329
and
-1 x -3,297,329 = 3,297,329
Notice both answers equal 3,297,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,297,329 and divide it by 2:
3,297,329 ÷ 2 = 1,648,664.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,648,664.5 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 | 3,297,329 | |
| -1 | -3,297,329 |
Now, we try dividing 3,297,329 by 3:
3,297,329 ÷ 3 = 1,099,109.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,099,109.6667 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 | 3,297,329 | |
| -1 | -3,297,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,297,329 ÷ 4 = 824,332.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 824,332.25 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 | 3,297,329 | |
| -1 | 3,297,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 37 | 203 | 259 | 439 | 1,073 | 3,073 | 7,511 | 12,731 | 16,243 | 89,117 | 113,701 | 471,047 | 3,297,329 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -37 | -203 | -259 | -439 | -1,073 | -3,073 | -7,511 | -12,731 | -16,243 | -89,117 | -113,701 | -471,047 | -3,297,329 |
