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 3,443,635, 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 | 3,443,635 | |
| -1 | -3,443,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,443,635.
Example:
1 x 3,443,635 = 3,443,635
and
-1 x -3,443,635 = 3,443,635
Notice both answers equal 3,443,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,443,635 and divide it by 2:
3,443,635 ÷ 2 = 1,721,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,721,817.5 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 | 3,443,635 | |
| -1 | -3,443,635 |
Now, we try dividing 3,443,635 by 3:
3,443,635 ÷ 3 = 1,147,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,147,878.3333 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 | 3,443,635 | |
| -1 | -3,443,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,443,635 ÷ 4 = 860,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 860,908.75 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 | 3,443,635 | |
| -1 | 3,443,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 1,709 | 2,015 | 8,545 | 22,217 | 52,979 | 111,085 | 264,895 | 688,727 | 3,443,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -1,709 | -2,015 | -8,545 | -22,217 | -52,979 | -111,085 | -264,895 | -688,727 | -3,443,635 |
