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 3,397,735, 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 | 3,397,735 | |
| -1 | -3,397,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,397,735.
Example:
1 x 3,397,735 = 3,397,735
and
-1 x -3,397,735 = 3,397,735
Notice both answers equal 3,397,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,397,735 and divide it by 2:
3,397,735 ÷ 2 = 1,698,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,698,867.5 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 | 3,397,735 | |
| -1 | -3,397,735 |
Now, we try dividing 3,397,735 by 3:
3,397,735 ÷ 3 = 1,132,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,132,578.3333 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 | 3,397,735 | |
| -1 | -3,397,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,397,735 ÷ 4 = 849,433.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 849,433.75 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 | 3,397,735 | |
| -1 | 3,397,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 163 | 379 | 815 | 1,793 | 1,895 | 4,169 | 8,965 | 20,845 | 61,777 | 308,885 | 679,547 | 3,397,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -163 | -379 | -815 | -1,793 | -1,895 | -4,169 | -8,965 | -20,845 | -61,777 | -308,885 | -679,547 | -3,397,735 |
