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 3,351,023, 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 | 3,351,023 | |
| -1 | -3,351,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,351,023.
Example:
1 x 3,351,023 = 3,351,023
and
-1 x -3,351,023 = 3,351,023
Notice both answers equal 3,351,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,351,023 and divide it by 2:
3,351,023 ÷ 2 = 1,675,511.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,675,511.5 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 | 3,351,023 | |
| -1 | -3,351,023 |
Now, we try dividing 3,351,023 by 3:
3,351,023 ÷ 3 = 1,117,007.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,117,007.6667 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 | 3,351,023 | |
| -1 | -3,351,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,351,023 ÷ 4 = 837,755.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 837,755.75 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 | 3,351,023 | |
| -1 | 3,351,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 59 | 221 | 257 | 767 | 1,003 | 3,341 | 4,369 | 13,039 | 15,163 | 56,797 | 197,119 | 257,771 | 3,351,023 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -59 | -221 | -257 | -767 | -1,003 | -3,341 | -4,369 | -13,039 | -15,163 | -56,797 | -197,119 | -257,771 | -3,351,023 |
