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 3,426,913, 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 | 3,426,913 | |
| -1 | -3,426,913 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,426,913.
Example:
1 x 3,426,913 = 3,426,913
and
-1 x -3,426,913 = 3,426,913
Notice both answers equal 3,426,913
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,426,913 and divide it by 2:
3,426,913 ÷ 2 = 1,713,456.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,713,456.5 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 | 3,426,913 | |
| -1 | -3,426,913 |
Now, we try dividing 3,426,913 by 3:
3,426,913 ÷ 3 = 1,142,304.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,142,304.3333 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 | 3,426,913 | |
| -1 | -3,426,913 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,426,913 ÷ 4 = 856,728.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 856,728.25 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 | 3,426,913 | |
| -1 | 3,426,913 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 97 | 103 | 343 | 679 | 721 | 4,753 | 5,047 | 9,991 | 33,271 | 35,329 | 69,937 | 489,559 | 3,426,913 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -97 | -103 | -343 | -679 | -721 | -4,753 | -5,047 | -9,991 | -33,271 | -35,329 | -69,937 | -489,559 | -3,426,913 |
