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 3,303,701, 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 | 3,303,701 | |
| -1 | -3,303,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,303,701.
Example:
1 x 3,303,701 = 3,303,701
and
-1 x -3,303,701 = 3,303,701
Notice both answers equal 3,303,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,303,701 and divide it by 2:
3,303,701 ÷ 2 = 1,651,850.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,651,850.5 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 | 3,303,701 | |
| -1 | -3,303,701 |
Now, we try dividing 3,303,701 by 3:
3,303,701 ÷ 3 = 1,101,233.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,101,233.6667 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 | 3,303,701 | |
| -1 | -3,303,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,303,701 ÷ 4 = 825,925.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 825,925.25 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 | 3,303,701 | |
| -1 | 3,303,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 71 | 79 | 589 | 1,349 | 1,501 | 2,201 | 2,449 | 5,609 | 41,819 | 46,531 | 106,571 | 173,879 | 3,303,701 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -71 | -79 | -589 | -1,349 | -1,501 | -2,201 | -2,449 | -5,609 | -41,819 | -46,531 | -106,571 | -173,879 | -3,303,701 |
