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 3,441,515, 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 | 3,441,515 | |
| -1 | -3,441,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,441,515.
Example:
1 x 3,441,515 = 3,441,515
and
-1 x -3,441,515 = 3,441,515
Notice both answers equal 3,441,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,441,515 and divide it by 2:
3,441,515 ÷ 2 = 1,720,757.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,720,757.5 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 | 3,441,515 | |
| -1 | -3,441,515 |
Now, we try dividing 3,441,515 by 3:
3,441,515 ÷ 3 = 1,147,171.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,147,171.6667 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 | 3,441,515 | |
| -1 | -3,441,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,441,515 ÷ 4 = 860,378.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 860,378.75 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 | 3,441,515 | |
| -1 | 3,441,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 49 | 55 | 77 | 245 | 385 | 539 | 1,277 | 2,695 | 6,385 | 8,939 | 14,047 | 44,695 | 62,573 | 70,235 | 98,329 | 312,865 | 491,645 | 688,303 | 3,441,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -49 | -55 | -77 | -245 | -385 | -539 | -1,277 | -2,695 | -6,385 | -8,939 | -14,047 | -44,695 | -62,573 | -70,235 | -98,329 | -312,865 | -491,645 | -688,303 | -3,441,515 |
