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 3,460,483, 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 | 3,460,483 | |
| -1 | -3,460,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,460,483.
Example:
1 x 3,460,483 = 3,460,483
and
-1 x -3,460,483 = 3,460,483
Notice both answers equal 3,460,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,460,483 and divide it by 2:
3,460,483 ÷ 2 = 1,730,241.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,730,241.5 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 | 3,460,483 | |
| -1 | -3,460,483 |
Now, we try dividing 3,460,483 by 3:
3,460,483 ÷ 3 = 1,153,494.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,153,494.3333 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 | 3,460,483 | |
| -1 | -3,460,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,460,483 ÷ 4 = 865,120.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 865,120.75 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 | 3,460,483 | |
| -1 | 3,460,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 67 | 137 | 377 | 871 | 1,781 | 1,943 | 3,973 | 9,179 | 25,259 | 51,649 | 119,327 | 266,191 | 3,460,483 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -67 | -137 | -377 | -871 | -1,781 | -1,943 | -3,973 | -9,179 | -25,259 | -51,649 | -119,327 | -266,191 | -3,460,483 |
