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 3,465,065, 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 | 3,465,065 | |
| -1 | -3,465,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,465,065.
Example:
1 x 3,465,065 = 3,465,065
and
-1 x -3,465,065 = 3,465,065
Notice both answers equal 3,465,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,465,065 and divide it by 2:
3,465,065 ÷ 2 = 1,732,532.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,732,532.5 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 | 3,465,065 | |
| -1 | -3,465,065 |
Now, we try dividing 3,465,065 by 3:
3,465,065 ÷ 3 = 1,155,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,155,021.6667 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 | 3,465,065 | |
| -1 | -3,465,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,465,065 ÷ 4 = 866,266.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 866,266.25 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 | 3,465,065 | |
| -1 | 3,465,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 29 | 115 | 145 | 667 | 1,039 | 3,335 | 5,195 | 23,897 | 30,131 | 119,485 | 150,655 | 693,013 | 3,465,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -29 | -115 | -145 | -667 | -1,039 | -3,335 | -5,195 | -23,897 | -30,131 | -119,485 | -150,655 | -693,013 | -3,465,065 |
