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 3,402,113, 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 | 3,402,113 | |
| -1 | -3,402,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,402,113.
Example:
1 x 3,402,113 = 3,402,113
and
-1 x -3,402,113 = 3,402,113
Notice both answers equal 3,402,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,402,113 and divide it by 2:
3,402,113 ÷ 2 = 1,701,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,701,056.5 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 | 3,402,113 | |
| -1 | -3,402,113 |
Now, we try dividing 3,402,113 by 3:
3,402,113 ÷ 3 = 1,134,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,134,037.6667 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 | 3,402,113 | |
| -1 | -3,402,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,402,113 ÷ 4 = 850,528.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 850,528.25 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 | 3,402,113 | |
| -1 | 3,402,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 37 | 143 | 407 | 481 | 643 | 5,291 | 7,073 | 8,359 | 23,791 | 91,949 | 261,701 | 309,283 | 3,402,113 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -37 | -143 | -407 | -481 | -643 | -5,291 | -7,073 | -8,359 | -23,791 | -91,949 | -261,701 | -309,283 | -3,402,113 |
