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 3,346,165, 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 | 3,346,165 | |
| -1 | -3,346,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,346,165.
Example:
1 x 3,346,165 = 3,346,165
and
-1 x -3,346,165 = 3,346,165
Notice both answers equal 3,346,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,346,165 and divide it by 2:
3,346,165 ÷ 2 = 1,673,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,673,082.5 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 | 3,346,165 | |
| -1 | -3,346,165 |
Now, we try dividing 3,346,165 by 3:
3,346,165 ÷ 3 = 1,115,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,115,388.3333 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 | 3,346,165 | |
| -1 | -3,346,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,346,165 ÷ 4 = 836,541.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 836,541.25 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 | 3,346,165 | |
| -1 | 3,346,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 47 | 145 | 235 | 491 | 1,363 | 2,455 | 6,815 | 14,239 | 23,077 | 71,195 | 115,385 | 669,233 | 3,346,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -47 | -145 | -235 | -491 | -1,363 | -2,455 | -6,815 | -14,239 | -23,077 | -71,195 | -115,385 | -669,233 | -3,346,165 |
