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 3,162,635, 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 | 3,162,635 | |
| -1 | -3,162,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,162,635.
Example:
1 x 3,162,635 = 3,162,635
and
-1 x -3,162,635 = 3,162,635
Notice both answers equal 3,162,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,162,635 and divide it by 2:
3,162,635 ÷ 2 = 1,581,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,581,317.5 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 | 3,162,635 | |
| -1 | -3,162,635 |
Now, we try dividing 3,162,635 by 3:
3,162,635 ÷ 3 = 1,054,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,054,211.6667 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 | 3,162,635 | |
| -1 | -3,162,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,162,635 ÷ 4 = 790,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 790,658.75 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 | 3,162,635 | |
| -1 | 3,162,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 109 | 545 | 763 | 829 | 3,815 | 4,145 | 5,803 | 29,015 | 90,361 | 451,805 | 632,527 | 3,162,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -109 | -545 | -763 | -829 | -3,815 | -4,145 | -5,803 | -29,015 | -90,361 | -451,805 | -632,527 | -3,162,635 |
