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 3,443,921, 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 | 3,443,921 | |
| -1 | -3,443,921 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,443,921.
Example:
1 x 3,443,921 = 3,443,921
and
-1 x -3,443,921 = 3,443,921
Notice both answers equal 3,443,921
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,443,921 and divide it by 2:
3,443,921 ÷ 2 = 1,721,960.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,721,960.5 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 | 3,443,921 | |
| -1 | -3,443,921 |
Now, we try dividing 3,443,921 by 3:
3,443,921 ÷ 3 = 1,147,973.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,147,973.6667 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 | 3,443,921 | |
| -1 | -3,443,921 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,443,921 ÷ 4 = 860,980.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 860,980.25 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 | 3,443,921 | |
| -1 | 3,443,921 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 73 | 191 | 247 | 949 | 1,387 | 2,483 | 3,629 | 13,943 | 18,031 | 47,177 | 181,259 | 264,917 | 3,443,921 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -73 | -191 | -247 | -949 | -1,387 | -2,483 | -3,629 | -13,943 | -18,031 | -47,177 | -181,259 | -264,917 | -3,443,921 |
