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 3,347,267, 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 | 3,347,267 | |
| -1 | -3,347,267 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,347,267.
Example:
1 x 3,347,267 = 3,347,267
and
-1 x -3,347,267 = 3,347,267
Notice both answers equal 3,347,267
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,347,267 and divide it by 2:
3,347,267 ÷ 2 = 1,673,633.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,673,633.5 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 | 3,347,267 | |
| -1 | -3,347,267 |
Now, we try dividing 3,347,267 by 3:
3,347,267 ÷ 3 = 1,115,755.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,115,755.6667 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 | 3,347,267 | |
| -1 | -3,347,267 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,347,267 ÷ 4 = 836,816.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 836,816.75 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 | 3,347,267 | |
| -1 | 3,347,267 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 29 | 77 | 203 | 319 | 1,499 | 2,233 | 10,493 | 16,489 | 43,471 | 115,423 | 304,297 | 478,181 | 3,347,267 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -29 | -77 | -203 | -319 | -1,499 | -2,233 | -10,493 | -16,489 | -43,471 | -115,423 | -304,297 | -478,181 | -3,347,267 |
