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 3,466,813, 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 | 3,466,813 | |
| -1 | -3,466,813 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,466,813.
Example:
1 x 3,466,813 = 3,466,813
and
-1 x -3,466,813 = 3,466,813
Notice both answers equal 3,466,813
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,466,813 and divide it by 2:
3,466,813 ÷ 2 = 1,733,406.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,733,406.5 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 | 3,466,813 | |
| -1 | -3,466,813 |
Now, we try dividing 3,466,813 by 3:
3,466,813 ÷ 3 = 1,155,604.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,155,604.3333 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 | 3,466,813 | |
| -1 | -3,466,813 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,466,813 ÷ 4 = 866,703.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 866,703.25 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 | 3,466,813 | |
| -1 | 3,466,813 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 61 | 161 | 353 | 427 | 1,403 | 2,471 | 8,119 | 9,821 | 21,533 | 56,833 | 150,731 | 495,259 | 3,466,813 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -61 | -161 | -353 | -427 | -1,403 | -2,471 | -8,119 | -9,821 | -21,533 | -56,833 | -150,731 | -495,259 | -3,466,813 |
