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 3,404,165, 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 | 3,404,165 | |
| -1 | -3,404,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,404,165.
Example:
1 x 3,404,165 = 3,404,165
and
-1 x -3,404,165 = 3,404,165
Notice both answers equal 3,404,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,404,165 and divide it by 2:
3,404,165 ÷ 2 = 1,702,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,702,082.5 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 | 3,404,165 | |
| -1 | -3,404,165 |
Now, we try dividing 3,404,165 by 3:
3,404,165 ÷ 3 = 1,134,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,134,721.6667 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 | 3,404,165 | |
| -1 | -3,404,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,404,165 ÷ 4 = 851,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 851,041.25 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 | 3,404,165 | |
| -1 | 3,404,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 1,381 | 2,465 | 6,905 | 23,477 | 40,049 | 117,385 | 200,245 | 680,833 | 3,404,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -1,381 | -2,465 | -6,905 | -23,477 | -40,049 | -117,385 | -200,245 | -680,833 | -3,404,165 |
