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 3,402,275, 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 | 3,402,275 | |
| -1 | -3,402,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,402,275.
Example:
1 x 3,402,275 = 3,402,275
and
-1 x -3,402,275 = 3,402,275
Notice both answers equal 3,402,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,402,275 and divide it by 2:
3,402,275 ÷ 2 = 1,701,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,701,137.5 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 | 3,402,275 | |
| -1 | -3,402,275 |
Now, we try dividing 3,402,275 by 3:
3,402,275 ÷ 3 = 1,134,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,134,091.6667 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 | 3,402,275 | |
| -1 | -3,402,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,402,275 ÷ 4 = 850,568.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 850,568.75 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 | 3,402,275 | |
| -1 | 3,402,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 61 | 97 | 115 | 305 | 485 | 575 | 1,403 | 1,525 | 2,231 | 2,425 | 5,917 | 7,015 | 11,155 | 29,585 | 35,075 | 55,775 | 136,091 | 147,925 | 680,455 | 3,402,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -61 | -97 | -115 | -305 | -485 | -575 | -1,403 | -1,525 | -2,231 | -2,425 | -5,917 | -7,015 | -11,155 | -29,585 | -35,075 | -55,775 | -136,091 | -147,925 | -680,455 | -3,402,275 |
