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 3,463,435, 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 | 3,463,435 | |
| -1 | -3,463,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,463,435.
Example:
1 x 3,463,435 = 3,463,435
and
-1 x -3,463,435 = 3,463,435
Notice both answers equal 3,463,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,463,435 and divide it by 2:
3,463,435 ÷ 2 = 1,731,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,731,717.5 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 | 3,463,435 | |
| -1 | -3,463,435 |
Now, we try dividing 3,463,435 by 3:
3,463,435 ÷ 3 = 1,154,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,154,478.3333 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 | 3,463,435 | |
| -1 | -3,463,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,463,435 ÷ 4 = 865,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 865,858.75 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 | 3,463,435 | |
| -1 | 3,463,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 89 | 181 | 215 | 445 | 905 | 3,827 | 7,783 | 16,109 | 19,135 | 38,915 | 80,545 | 692,687 | 3,463,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -89 | -181 | -215 | -445 | -905 | -3,827 | -7,783 | -16,109 | -19,135 | -38,915 | -80,545 | -692,687 | -3,463,435 |
