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 3,325,133, 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 | 3,325,133 | |
| -1 | -3,325,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,325,133.
Example:
1 x 3,325,133 = 3,325,133
and
-1 x -3,325,133 = 3,325,133
Notice both answers equal 3,325,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,325,133 and divide it by 2:
3,325,133 ÷ 2 = 1,662,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,662,566.5 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 | 3,325,133 | |
| -1 | -3,325,133 |
Now, we try dividing 3,325,133 by 3:
3,325,133 ÷ 3 = 1,108,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,108,377.6667 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 | 3,325,133 | |
| -1 | -3,325,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,325,133 ÷ 4 = 831,283.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 831,283.25 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 | 3,325,133 | |
| -1 | 3,325,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 23 | 133 | 161 | 437 | 1,087 | 3,059 | 7,609 | 20,653 | 25,001 | 144,571 | 175,007 | 475,019 | 3,325,133 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -23 | -133 | -161 | -437 | -1,087 | -3,059 | -7,609 | -20,653 | -25,001 | -144,571 | -175,007 | -475,019 | -3,325,133 |
