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 3,451,435, 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 | 3,451,435 | |
| -1 | -3,451,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,451,435.
Example:
1 x 3,451,435 = 3,451,435
and
-1 x -3,451,435 = 3,451,435
Notice both answers equal 3,451,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,451,435 and divide it by 2:
3,451,435 ÷ 2 = 1,725,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,725,717.5 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 | 3,451,435 | |
| -1 | -3,451,435 |
Now, we try dividing 3,451,435 by 3:
3,451,435 ÷ 3 = 1,150,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,150,478.3333 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 | 3,451,435 | |
| -1 | -3,451,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,451,435 ÷ 4 = 862,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 862,858.75 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 | 3,451,435 | |
| -1 | 3,451,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 29 | 65 | 145 | 377 | 1,831 | 1,885 | 9,155 | 23,803 | 53,099 | 119,015 | 265,495 | 690,287 | 3,451,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -29 | -65 | -145 | -377 | -1,831 | -1,885 | -9,155 | -23,803 | -53,099 | -119,015 | -265,495 | -690,287 | -3,451,435 |
