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 3,033,355, 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 | 3,033,355 | |
| -1 | -3,033,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,033,355.
Example:
1 x 3,033,355 = 3,033,355
and
-1 x -3,033,355 = 3,033,355
Notice both answers equal 3,033,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,033,355 and divide it by 2:
3,033,355 ÷ 2 = 1,516,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,516,677.5 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 | 3,033,355 | |
| -1 | -3,033,355 |
Now, we try dividing 3,033,355 by 3:
3,033,355 ÷ 3 = 1,011,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,011,118.3333 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 | 3,033,355 | |
| -1 | -3,033,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,033,355 ÷ 4 = 758,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 758,338.75 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 | 3,033,355 | |
| -1 | 3,033,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 1,495 | 2,029 | 10,145 | 26,377 | 46,667 | 131,885 | 233,335 | 606,671 | 3,033,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -1,495 | -2,029 | -10,145 | -26,377 | -46,667 | -131,885 | -233,335 | -606,671 | -3,033,355 |
