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 3,355,135, 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 | 3,355,135 | |
| -1 | -3,355,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,355,135.
Example:
1 x 3,355,135 = 3,355,135
and
-1 x -3,355,135 = 3,355,135
Notice both answers equal 3,355,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,355,135 and divide it by 2:
3,355,135 ÷ 2 = 1,677,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,677,567.5 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 | 3,355,135 | |
| -1 | -3,355,135 |
Now, we try dividing 3,355,135 by 3:
3,355,135 ÷ 3 = 1,118,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,118,378.3333 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 | 3,355,135 | |
| -1 | -3,355,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,355,135 ÷ 4 = 838,783.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 838,783.75 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 | 3,355,135 | |
| -1 | 3,355,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 257 | 373 | 1,285 | 1,799 | 1,865 | 2,611 | 8,995 | 13,055 | 95,861 | 479,305 | 671,027 | 3,355,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -257 | -373 | -1,285 | -1,799 | -1,865 | -2,611 | -8,995 | -13,055 | -95,861 | -479,305 | -671,027 | -3,355,135 |
