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 3,459,155, 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 | 3,459,155 | |
| -1 | -3,459,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,459,155.
Example:
1 x 3,459,155 = 3,459,155
and
-1 x -3,459,155 = 3,459,155
Notice both answers equal 3,459,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,459,155 and divide it by 2:
3,459,155 ÷ 2 = 1,729,577.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,729,577.5 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 | 3,459,155 | |
| -1 | -3,459,155 |
Now, we try dividing 3,459,155 by 3:
3,459,155 ÷ 3 = 1,153,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,153,051.6667 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 | 3,459,155 | |
| -1 | -3,459,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,459,155 ÷ 4 = 864,788.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 864,788.75 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 | 3,459,155 | |
| -1 | 3,459,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 343 | 1,715 | 2,017 | 10,085 | 14,119 | 70,595 | 98,833 | 494,165 | 691,831 | 3,459,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -343 | -1,715 | -2,017 | -10,085 | -14,119 | -70,595 | -98,833 | -494,165 | -691,831 | -3,459,155 |
