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 3,412,435, 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 | 3,412,435 | |
| -1 | -3,412,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,412,435.
Example:
1 x 3,412,435 = 3,412,435
and
-1 x -3,412,435 = 3,412,435
Notice both answers equal 3,412,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,412,435 and divide it by 2:
3,412,435 ÷ 2 = 1,706,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,706,217.5 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 | 3,412,435 | |
| -1 | -3,412,435 |
Now, we try dividing 3,412,435 by 3:
3,412,435 ÷ 3 = 1,137,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,137,478.3333 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 | 3,412,435 | |
| -1 | -3,412,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,412,435 ÷ 4 = 853,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 853,108.75 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 | 3,412,435 | |
| -1 | 3,412,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 47 | 65 | 235 | 611 | 1,117 | 3,055 | 5,585 | 14,521 | 52,499 | 72,605 | 262,495 | 682,487 | 3,412,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -47 | -65 | -235 | -611 | -1,117 | -3,055 | -5,585 | -14,521 | -52,499 | -72,605 | -262,495 | -682,487 | -3,412,435 |
