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 3,466,099, 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 | 3,466,099 | |
| -1 | -3,466,099 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,466,099.
Example:
1 x 3,466,099 = 3,466,099
and
-1 x -3,466,099 = 3,466,099
Notice both answers equal 3,466,099
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,466,099 and divide it by 2:
3,466,099 ÷ 2 = 1,733,049.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,733,049.5 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 | 3,466,099 | |
| -1 | -3,466,099 |
Now, we try dividing 3,466,099 by 3:
3,466,099 ÷ 3 = 1,155,366.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,155,366.3333 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 | 3,466,099 | |
| -1 | -3,466,099 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,466,099 ÷ 4 = 866,524.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 866,524.75 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 | 3,466,099 | |
| -1 | 3,466,099 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 929 | 3,731 | 6,503 | 12,077 | 38,089 | 84,539 | 266,623 | 495,157 | 3,466,099 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -929 | -3,731 | -6,503 | -12,077 | -38,089 | -84,539 | -266,623 | -495,157 | -3,466,099 |
