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 3,424,135, 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 | 3,424,135 | |
| -1 | -3,424,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,424,135.
Example:
1 x 3,424,135 = 3,424,135
and
-1 x -3,424,135 = 3,424,135
Notice both answers equal 3,424,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,424,135 and divide it by 2:
3,424,135 ÷ 2 = 1,712,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,712,067.5 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 | 3,424,135 | |
| -1 | -3,424,135 |
Now, we try dividing 3,424,135 by 3:
3,424,135 ÷ 3 = 1,141,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,141,378.3333 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 | 3,424,135 | |
| -1 | -3,424,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,424,135 ÷ 4 = 856,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 856,033.75 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 | 3,424,135 | |
| -1 | 3,424,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 4,789 | 23,945 | 52,679 | 62,257 | 263,395 | 311,285 | 684,827 | 3,424,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -4,789 | -23,945 | -52,679 | -62,257 | -263,395 | -311,285 | -684,827 | -3,424,135 |
