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 3,346,145, 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 | 3,346,145 | |
| -1 | -3,346,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,346,145.
Example:
1 x 3,346,145 = 3,346,145
and
-1 x -3,346,145 = 3,346,145
Notice both answers equal 3,346,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,346,145 and divide it by 2:
3,346,145 ÷ 2 = 1,673,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,673,072.5 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 | 3,346,145 | |
| -1 | -3,346,145 |
Now, we try dividing 3,346,145 by 3:
3,346,145 ÷ 3 = 1,115,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,115,381.6667 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 | 3,346,145 | |
| -1 | -3,346,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,346,145 ÷ 4 = 836,536.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 836,536.25 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 | 3,346,145 | |
| -1 | 3,346,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 83 | 415 | 733 | 913 | 3,665 | 4,565 | 8,063 | 40,315 | 60,839 | 304,195 | 669,229 | 3,346,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -83 | -415 | -733 | -913 | -3,665 | -4,565 | -8,063 | -40,315 | -60,839 | -304,195 | -669,229 | -3,346,145 |
