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 3,334,255, 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 | 3,334,255 | |
| -1 | -3,334,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,334,255.
Example:
1 x 3,334,255 = 3,334,255
and
-1 x -3,334,255 = 3,334,255
Notice both answers equal 3,334,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,334,255 and divide it by 2:
3,334,255 ÷ 2 = 1,667,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,667,127.5 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 | 3,334,255 | |
| -1 | -3,334,255 |
Now, we try dividing 3,334,255 by 3:
3,334,255 ÷ 3 = 1,111,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,111,418.3333 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 | 3,334,255 | |
| -1 | -3,334,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,334,255 ÷ 4 = 833,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 833,563.75 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 | 3,334,255 | |
| -1 | 3,334,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 67 | 185 | 269 | 335 | 1,345 | 2,479 | 9,953 | 12,395 | 18,023 | 49,765 | 90,115 | 666,851 | 3,334,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -67 | -185 | -269 | -335 | -1,345 | -2,479 | -9,953 | -12,395 | -18,023 | -49,765 | -90,115 | -666,851 | -3,334,255 |
