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 3,322,465, 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 | 3,322,465 | |
| -1 | -3,322,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,322,465.
Example:
1 x 3,322,465 = 3,322,465
and
-1 x -3,322,465 = 3,322,465
Notice both answers equal 3,322,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,322,465 and divide it by 2:
3,322,465 ÷ 2 = 1,661,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,661,232.5 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 | 3,322,465 | |
| -1 | -3,322,465 |
Now, we try dividing 3,322,465 by 3:
3,322,465 ÷ 3 = 1,107,488.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,107,488.3333 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 | 3,322,465 | |
| -1 | -3,322,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,322,465 ÷ 4 = 830,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 830,616.25 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 | 3,322,465 | |
| -1 | 3,322,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 167 | 173 | 835 | 865 | 3,841 | 3,979 | 19,205 | 19,895 | 28,891 | 144,455 | 664,493 | 3,322,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -167 | -173 | -835 | -865 | -3,841 | -3,979 | -19,205 | -19,895 | -28,891 | -144,455 | -664,493 | -3,322,465 |
