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 3,436,225, 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 | 3,436,225 | |
| -1 | -3,436,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,436,225.
Example:
1 x 3,436,225 = 3,436,225
and
-1 x -3,436,225 = 3,436,225
Notice both answers equal 3,436,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,436,225 and divide it by 2:
3,436,225 ÷ 2 = 1,718,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,718,112.5 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 | 3,436,225 | |
| -1 | -3,436,225 |
Now, we try dividing 3,436,225 by 3:
3,436,225 ÷ 3 = 1,145,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,145,408.3333 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 | 3,436,225 | |
| -1 | -3,436,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,436,225 ÷ 4 = 859,056.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 859,056.25 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 | 3,436,225 | |
| -1 | 3,436,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 97 | 109 | 325 | 485 | 545 | 1,261 | 1,417 | 2,425 | 2,725 | 6,305 | 7,085 | 10,573 | 31,525 | 35,425 | 52,865 | 137,449 | 264,325 | 687,245 | 3,436,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -97 | -109 | -325 | -485 | -545 | -1,261 | -1,417 | -2,425 | -2,725 | -6,305 | -7,085 | -10,573 | -31,525 | -35,425 | -52,865 | -137,449 | -264,325 | -687,245 | -3,436,225 |
