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 3,332,849, 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 | 3,332,849 | |
| -1 | -3,332,849 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,332,849.
Example:
1 x 3,332,849 = 3,332,849
and
-1 x -3,332,849 = 3,332,849
Notice both answers equal 3,332,849
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,332,849 and divide it by 2:
3,332,849 ÷ 2 = 1,666,424.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,666,424.5 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 | 3,332,849 | |
| -1 | -3,332,849 |
Now, we try dividing 3,332,849 by 3:
3,332,849 ÷ 3 = 1,110,949.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,110,949.6667 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 | 3,332,849 | |
| -1 | -3,332,849 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,332,849 ÷ 4 = 833,212.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 833,212.25 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 | 3,332,849 | |
| -1 | 3,332,849 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 41 | 169 | 481 | 533 | 1,517 | 2,197 | 6,253 | 6,929 | 19,721 | 81,289 | 90,077 | 256,373 | 3,332,849 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -41 | -169 | -481 | -533 | -1,517 | -2,197 | -6,253 | -6,929 | -19,721 | -81,289 | -90,077 | -256,373 | -3,332,849 |
