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 3,359,015, 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 | 3,359,015 | |
| -1 | -3,359,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,359,015.
Example:
1 x 3,359,015 = 3,359,015
and
-1 x -3,359,015 = 3,359,015
Notice both answers equal 3,359,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,359,015 and divide it by 2:
3,359,015 ÷ 2 = 1,679,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,679,507.5 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 | 3,359,015 | |
| -1 | -3,359,015 |
Now, we try dividing 3,359,015 by 3:
3,359,015 ÷ 3 = 1,119,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,119,671.6667 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 | 3,359,015 | |
| -1 | -3,359,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,359,015 ÷ 4 = 839,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 839,753.75 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 | 3,359,015 | |
| -1 | 3,359,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 157 | 389 | 785 | 1,727 | 1,945 | 4,279 | 8,635 | 21,395 | 61,073 | 305,365 | 671,803 | 3,359,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -157 | -389 | -785 | -1,727 | -1,945 | -4,279 | -8,635 | -21,395 | -61,073 | -305,365 | -671,803 | -3,359,015 |
