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 3,333,071, 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 | 3,333,071 | |
| -1 | -3,333,071 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,333,071.
Example:
1 x 3,333,071 = 3,333,071
and
-1 x -3,333,071 = 3,333,071
Notice both answers equal 3,333,071
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,333,071 and divide it by 2:
3,333,071 ÷ 2 = 1,666,535.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,666,535.5 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 | 3,333,071 | |
| -1 | -3,333,071 |
Now, we try dividing 3,333,071 by 3:
3,333,071 ÷ 3 = 1,111,023.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,111,023.6667 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 | 3,333,071 | |
| -1 | -3,333,071 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,333,071 ÷ 4 = 833,267.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 833,267.75 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 | 3,333,071 | |
| -1 | 3,333,071 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 37 | 119 | 259 | 629 | 757 | 4,403 | 5,299 | 12,869 | 28,009 | 90,083 | 196,063 | 476,153 | 3,333,071 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -37 | -119 | -259 | -629 | -757 | -4,403 | -5,299 | -12,869 | -28,009 | -90,083 | -196,063 | -476,153 | -3,333,071 |
