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 3,447,355, 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 | 3,447,355 | |
| -1 | -3,447,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,447,355.
Example:
1 x 3,447,355 = 3,447,355
and
-1 x -3,447,355 = 3,447,355
Notice both answers equal 3,447,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,447,355 and divide it by 2:
3,447,355 ÷ 2 = 1,723,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,723,677.5 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 | 3,447,355 | |
| -1 | -3,447,355 |
Now, we try dividing 3,447,355 by 3:
3,447,355 ÷ 3 = 1,149,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,149,118.3333 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 | 3,447,355 | |
| -1 | -3,447,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,447,355 ÷ 4 = 861,838.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 861,838.75 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 | 3,447,355 | |
| -1 | 3,447,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 31 | 115 | 155 | 713 | 967 | 3,565 | 4,835 | 22,241 | 29,977 | 111,205 | 149,885 | 689,471 | 3,447,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -31 | -115 | -155 | -713 | -967 | -3,565 | -4,835 | -22,241 | -29,977 | -111,205 | -149,885 | -689,471 | -3,447,355 |
