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 3,393,299, 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 | 3,393,299 | |
| -1 | -3,393,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,393,299.
Example:
1 x 3,393,299 = 3,393,299
and
-1 x -3,393,299 = 3,393,299
Notice both answers equal 3,393,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,393,299 and divide it by 2:
3,393,299 ÷ 2 = 1,696,649.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,696,649.5 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 | 3,393,299 | |
| -1 | -3,393,299 |
Now, we try dividing 3,393,299 by 3:
3,393,299 ÷ 3 = 1,131,099.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,131,099.6667 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 | 3,393,299 | |
| -1 | -3,393,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,393,299 ÷ 4 = 848,324.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 848,324.75 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 | 3,393,299 | |
| -1 | 3,393,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 343 | 637 | 761 | 4,459 | 5,327 | 9,893 | 37,289 | 69,251 | 261,023 | 484,757 | 3,393,299 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -343 | -637 | -761 | -4,459 | -5,327 | -9,893 | -37,289 | -69,251 | -261,023 | -484,757 | -3,393,299 |
