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 3,406,711, 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 | 3,406,711 | |
| -1 | -3,406,711 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,406,711.
Example:
1 x 3,406,711 = 3,406,711
and
-1 x -3,406,711 = 3,406,711
Notice both answers equal 3,406,711
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,406,711 and divide it by 2:
3,406,711 ÷ 2 = 1,703,355.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,703,355.5 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 | 3,406,711 | |
| -1 | -3,406,711 |
Now, we try dividing 3,406,711 by 3:
3,406,711 ÷ 3 = 1,135,570.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,135,570.3333 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 | 3,406,711 | |
| -1 | -3,406,711 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,406,711 ÷ 4 = 851,677.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 851,677.75 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 | 3,406,711 | |
| -1 | 3,406,711 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 151 | 293 | 1,057 | 1,661 | 2,051 | 3,223 | 11,627 | 22,561 | 44,243 | 309,701 | 486,673 | 3,406,711 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -151 | -293 | -1,057 | -1,661 | -2,051 | -3,223 | -11,627 | -22,561 | -44,243 | -309,701 | -486,673 | -3,406,711 |
