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 3,330,085, 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 | 3,330,085 | |
| -1 | -3,330,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,330,085.
Example:
1 x 3,330,085 = 3,330,085
and
-1 x -3,330,085 = 3,330,085
Notice both answers equal 3,330,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,330,085 and divide it by 2:
3,330,085 ÷ 2 = 1,665,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,665,042.5 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 | 3,330,085 | |
| -1 | -3,330,085 |
Now, we try dividing 3,330,085 by 3:
3,330,085 ÷ 3 = 1,110,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,110,028.3333 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 | 3,330,085 | |
| -1 | -3,330,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,330,085 ÷ 4 = 832,521.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 832,521.25 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 | 3,330,085 | |
| -1 | 3,330,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 191 | 317 | 955 | 1,585 | 2,101 | 3,487 | 10,505 | 17,435 | 60,547 | 302,735 | 666,017 | 3,330,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -191 | -317 | -955 | -1,585 | -2,101 | -3,487 | -10,505 | -17,435 | -60,547 | -302,735 | -666,017 | -3,330,085 |
