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 33,340,339, 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 | 33,340,339 | |
| -1 | -33,340,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 33,340,339.
Example:
1 x 33,340,339 = 33,340,339
and
-1 x -33,340,339 = 33,340,339
Notice both answers equal 33,340,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 33,340,339 and divide it by 2:
33,340,339 ÷ 2 = 16,670,169.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 16,670,169.5 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 | 33,340,339 | |
| -1 | -33,340,339 |
Now, we try dividing 33,340,339 by 3:
33,340,339 ÷ 3 = 11,113,446.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 11,113,446.3333 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 | 33,340,339 | |
| -1 | -33,340,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
33,340,339 ÷ 4 = 8,335,084.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 8,335,084.75 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 | 33,340,339 | |
| -1 | 33,340,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 53 | 67 | 229 | 2,173 | 2,747 | 3,551 | 9,389 | 12,137 | 15,343 | 145,591 | 497,617 | 629,063 | 813,179 | 33,340,339 |
| -1 | -41 | -53 | -67 | -229 | -2,173 | -2,747 | -3,551 | -9,389 | -12,137 | -15,343 | -145,591 | -497,617 | -629,063 | -813,179 | -33,340,339 |
