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 3,333,115, 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 | 3,333,115 | |
| -1 | -3,333,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,333,115.
Example:
1 x 3,333,115 = 3,333,115
and
-1 x -3,333,115 = 3,333,115
Notice both answers equal 3,333,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,333,115 and divide it by 2:
3,333,115 ÷ 2 = 1,666,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,666,557.5 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 | 3,333,115 | |
| -1 | -3,333,115 |
Now, we try dividing 3,333,115 by 3:
3,333,115 ÷ 3 = 1,111,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,111,038.3333 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 | 3,333,115 | |
| -1 | -3,333,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,333,115 ÷ 4 = 833,278.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 833,278.75 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 | 3,333,115 | |
| -1 | 3,333,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 127 | 145 | 181 | 635 | 905 | 3,683 | 5,249 | 18,415 | 22,987 | 26,245 | 114,935 | 666,623 | 3,333,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -127 | -145 | -181 | -635 | -905 | -3,683 | -5,249 | -18,415 | -22,987 | -26,245 | -114,935 | -666,623 | -3,333,115 |
