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 3,364,555, 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 | 3,364,555 | |
| -1 | -3,364,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,364,555.
Example:
1 x 3,364,555 = 3,364,555
and
-1 x -3,364,555 = 3,364,555
Notice both answers equal 3,364,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,364,555 and divide it by 2:
3,364,555 ÷ 2 = 1,682,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,682,277.5 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 | 3,364,555 | |
| -1 | -3,364,555 |
Now, we try dividing 3,364,555 by 3:
3,364,555 ÷ 3 = 1,121,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,121,518.3333 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 | 3,364,555 | |
| -1 | -3,364,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,364,555 ÷ 4 = 841,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 841,138.75 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 | 3,364,555 | |
| -1 | 3,364,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 391 | 1,721 | 1,955 | 8,605 | 29,257 | 39,583 | 146,285 | 197,915 | 672,911 | 3,364,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -391 | -1,721 | -1,955 | -8,605 | -29,257 | -39,583 | -146,285 | -197,915 | -672,911 | -3,364,555 |
