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 3,309,467, 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 | 3,309,467 | |
| -1 | -3,309,467 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,309,467.
Example:
1 x 3,309,467 = 3,309,467
and
-1 x -3,309,467 = 3,309,467
Notice both answers equal 3,309,467
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,309,467 and divide it by 2:
3,309,467 ÷ 2 = 1,654,733.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,654,733.5 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 | 3,309,467 | |
| -1 | -3,309,467 |
Now, we try dividing 3,309,467 by 3:
3,309,467 ÷ 3 = 1,103,155.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,103,155.6667 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 | 3,309,467 | |
| -1 | -3,309,467 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,309,467 ÷ 4 = 827,366.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 827,366.75 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 | 3,309,467 | |
| -1 | 3,309,467 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 101 | 151 | 217 | 707 | 1,057 | 3,131 | 4,681 | 15,251 | 21,917 | 32,767 | 106,757 | 472,781 | 3,309,467 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -101 | -151 | -217 | -707 | -1,057 | -3,131 | -4,681 | -15,251 | -21,917 | -32,767 | -106,757 | -472,781 | -3,309,467 |
