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 3,303,545, 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 | 3,303,545 | |
| -1 | -3,303,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,303,545.
Example:
1 x 3,303,545 = 3,303,545
and
-1 x -3,303,545 = 3,303,545
Notice both answers equal 3,303,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,303,545 and divide it by 2:
3,303,545 ÷ 2 = 1,651,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,651,772.5 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 | 3,303,545 | |
| -1 | -3,303,545 |
Now, we try dividing 3,303,545 by 3:
3,303,545 ÷ 3 = 1,101,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,101,181.6667 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 | 3,303,545 | |
| -1 | -3,303,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,303,545 ÷ 4 = 825,886.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 825,886.25 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 | 3,303,545 | |
| -1 | 3,303,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 2,551 | 12,755 | 17,857 | 89,285 | 94,387 | 471,935 | 660,709 | 3,303,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -2,551 | -12,755 | -17,857 | -89,285 | -94,387 | -471,935 | -660,709 | -3,303,545 |
