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 3,456,365, 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 | 3,456,365 | |
| -1 | -3,456,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,456,365.
Example:
1 x 3,456,365 = 3,456,365
and
-1 x -3,456,365 = 3,456,365
Notice both answers equal 3,456,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,456,365 and divide it by 2:
3,456,365 ÷ 2 = 1,728,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,728,182.5 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 | 3,456,365 | |
| -1 | -3,456,365 |
Now, we try dividing 3,456,365 by 3:
3,456,365 ÷ 3 = 1,152,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,152,121.6667 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 | 3,456,365 | |
| -1 | -3,456,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,456,365 ÷ 4 = 864,091.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 864,091.25 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 | 3,456,365 | |
| -1 | 3,456,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 121 | 145 | 197 | 319 | 605 | 985 | 1,595 | 2,167 | 3,509 | 5,713 | 10,835 | 17,545 | 23,837 | 28,565 | 62,843 | 119,185 | 314,215 | 691,273 | 3,456,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -121 | -145 | -197 | -319 | -605 | -985 | -1,595 | -2,167 | -3,509 | -5,713 | -10,835 | -17,545 | -23,837 | -28,565 | -62,843 | -119,185 | -314,215 | -691,273 | -3,456,365 |
