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 3,450,575, 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 | 3,450,575 | |
| -1 | -3,450,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,450,575.
Example:
1 x 3,450,575 = 3,450,575
and
-1 x -3,450,575 = 3,450,575
Notice both answers equal 3,450,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,450,575 and divide it by 2:
3,450,575 ÷ 2 = 1,725,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,725,287.5 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 | 3,450,575 | |
| -1 | -3,450,575 |
Now, we try dividing 3,450,575 by 3:
3,450,575 ÷ 3 = 1,150,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,150,191.6667 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 | 3,450,575 | |
| -1 | -3,450,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,450,575 ÷ 4 = 862,643.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 862,643.75 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 | 3,450,575 | |
| -1 | 3,450,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 25 | 85 | 115 | 353 | 391 | 425 | 575 | 1,765 | 1,955 | 6,001 | 8,119 | 8,825 | 9,775 | 30,005 | 40,595 | 138,023 | 150,025 | 202,975 | 690,115 | 3,450,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -25 | -85 | -115 | -353 | -391 | -425 | -575 | -1,765 | -1,955 | -6,001 | -8,119 | -8,825 | -9,775 | -30,005 | -40,595 | -138,023 | -150,025 | -202,975 | -690,115 | -3,450,575 |
