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 3,330,299, 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 | 3,330,299 | |
| -1 | -3,330,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,330,299.
Example:
1 x 3,330,299 = 3,330,299
and
-1 x -3,330,299 = 3,330,299
Notice both answers equal 3,330,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,330,299 and divide it by 2:
3,330,299 ÷ 2 = 1,665,149.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,665,149.5 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 | 3,330,299 | |
| -1 | -3,330,299 |
Now, we try dividing 3,330,299 by 3:
3,330,299 ÷ 3 = 1,110,099.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,110,099.6667 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 | 3,330,299 | |
| -1 | -3,330,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,330,299 ÷ 4 = 832,574.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 832,574.75 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 | 3,330,299 | |
| -1 | 3,330,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 103 | 149 | 217 | 721 | 1,043 | 3,193 | 4,619 | 15,347 | 22,351 | 32,333 | 107,429 | 475,757 | 3,330,299 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -103 | -149 | -217 | -721 | -1,043 | -3,193 | -4,619 | -15,347 | -22,351 | -32,333 | -107,429 | -475,757 | -3,330,299 |
