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 3,345,991, 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 | 3,345,991 | |
| -1 | -3,345,991 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,345,991.
Example:
1 x 3,345,991 = 3,345,991
and
-1 x -3,345,991 = 3,345,991
Notice both answers equal 3,345,991
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,345,991 and divide it by 2:
3,345,991 ÷ 2 = 1,672,995.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,672,995.5 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 | 3,345,991 | |
| -1 | -3,345,991 |
Now, we try dividing 3,345,991 by 3:
3,345,991 ÷ 3 = 1,115,330.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,115,330.3333 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 | 3,345,991 | |
| -1 | -3,345,991 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,345,991 ÷ 4 = 836,497.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 836,497.75 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 | 3,345,991 | |
| -1 | 3,345,991 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 29 | 187 | 319 | 493 | 617 | 5,423 | 6,787 | 10,489 | 17,893 | 115,379 | 196,823 | 304,181 | 3,345,991 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -29 | -187 | -319 | -493 | -617 | -5,423 | -6,787 | -10,489 | -17,893 | -115,379 | -196,823 | -304,181 | -3,345,991 |
