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 3,299,179, 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 | 3,299,179 | |
| -1 | -3,299,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,299,179.
Example:
1 x 3,299,179 = 3,299,179
and
-1 x -3,299,179 = 3,299,179
Notice both answers equal 3,299,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,299,179 and divide it by 2:
3,299,179 ÷ 2 = 1,649,589.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,649,589.5 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 | 3,299,179 | |
| -1 | -3,299,179 |
Now, we try dividing 3,299,179 by 3:
3,299,179 ÷ 3 = 1,099,726.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,099,726.3333 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 | 3,299,179 | |
| -1 | -3,299,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,299,179 ÷ 4 = 824,794.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 824,794.75 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 | 3,299,179 | |
| -1 | 3,299,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 37 | 247 | 361 | 481 | 703 | 4,693 | 6,859 | 9,139 | 13,357 | 89,167 | 173,641 | 253,783 | 3,299,179 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -37 | -247 | -361 | -481 | -703 | -4,693 | -6,859 | -9,139 | -13,357 | -89,167 | -173,641 | -253,783 | -3,299,179 |
