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 3,457,337, 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 | 3,457,337 | |
| -1 | -3,457,337 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,457,337.
Example:
1 x 3,457,337 = 3,457,337
and
-1 x -3,457,337 = 3,457,337
Notice both answers equal 3,457,337
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,457,337 and divide it by 2:
3,457,337 ÷ 2 = 1,728,668.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,728,668.5 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 | 3,457,337 | |
| -1 | -3,457,337 |
Now, we try dividing 3,457,337 by 3:
3,457,337 ÷ 3 = 1,152,445.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,152,445.6667 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 | 3,457,337 | |
| -1 | -3,457,337 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,457,337 ÷ 4 = 864,334.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 864,334.25 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 | 3,457,337 | |
| -1 | 3,457,337 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 31 | 299 | 373 | 403 | 713 | 4,849 | 8,579 | 9,269 | 11,563 | 111,527 | 150,319 | 265,949 | 3,457,337 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -31 | -299 | -373 | -403 | -713 | -4,849 | -8,579 | -9,269 | -11,563 | -111,527 | -150,319 | -265,949 | -3,457,337 |
