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 3,467,233, 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 | 3,467,233 | |
| -1 | -3,467,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,467,233.
Example:
1 x 3,467,233 = 3,467,233
and
-1 x -3,467,233 = 3,467,233
Notice both answers equal 3,467,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,467,233 and divide it by 2:
3,467,233 ÷ 2 = 1,733,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,733,616.5 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 | 3,467,233 | |
| -1 | -3,467,233 |
Now, we try dividing 3,467,233 by 3:
3,467,233 ÷ 3 = 1,155,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,155,744.3333 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 | 3,467,233 | |
| -1 | -3,467,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,467,233 ÷ 4 = 866,808.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 866,808.25 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 | 3,467,233 | |
| -1 | 3,467,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 37 | 77 | 259 | 407 | 1,217 | 2,849 | 8,519 | 13,387 | 45,029 | 93,709 | 315,203 | 495,319 | 3,467,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -37 | -77 | -259 | -407 | -1,217 | -2,849 | -8,519 | -13,387 | -45,029 | -93,709 | -315,203 | -495,319 | -3,467,233 |
