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 3,341,503, 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 | 3,341,503 | |
| -1 | -3,341,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,341,503.
Example:
1 x 3,341,503 = 3,341,503
and
-1 x -3,341,503 = 3,341,503
Notice both answers equal 3,341,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,341,503 and divide it by 2:
3,341,503 ÷ 2 = 1,670,751.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,670,751.5 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 | 3,341,503 | |
| -1 | -3,341,503 |
Now, we try dividing 3,341,503 by 3:
3,341,503 ÷ 3 = 1,113,834.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,113,834.3333 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 | 3,341,503 | |
| -1 | -3,341,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,341,503 ÷ 4 = 835,375.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 835,375.75 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 | 3,341,503 | |
| -1 | 3,341,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 107 | 167 | 187 | 1,177 | 1,819 | 1,837 | 2,839 | 17,869 | 20,009 | 31,229 | 196,559 | 303,773 | 3,341,503 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -107 | -167 | -187 | -1,177 | -1,819 | -1,837 | -2,839 | -17,869 | -20,009 | -31,229 | -196,559 | -303,773 | -3,341,503 |
