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 3,430,115, 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 | 3,430,115 | |
| -1 | -3,430,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,430,115.
Example:
1 x 3,430,115 = 3,430,115
and
-1 x -3,430,115 = 3,430,115
Notice both answers equal 3,430,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,430,115 and divide it by 2:
3,430,115 ÷ 2 = 1,715,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,715,057.5 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 | 3,430,115 | |
| -1 | -3,430,115 |
Now, we try dividing 3,430,115 by 3:
3,430,115 ÷ 3 = 1,143,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,143,371.6667 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 | 3,430,115 | |
| -1 | -3,430,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,430,115 ÷ 4 = 857,528.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 857,528.75 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 | 3,430,115 | |
| -1 | 3,430,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 113 | 467 | 565 | 1,469 | 2,335 | 6,071 | 7,345 | 30,355 | 52,771 | 263,855 | 686,023 | 3,430,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -113 | -467 | -565 | -1,469 | -2,335 | -6,071 | -7,345 | -30,355 | -52,771 | -263,855 | -686,023 | -3,430,115 |
