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 3,467,425, 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 | 3,467,425 | |
| -1 | -3,467,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,467,425.
Example:
1 x 3,467,425 = 3,467,425
and
-1 x -3,467,425 = 3,467,425
Notice both answers equal 3,467,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,467,425 and divide it by 2:
3,467,425 ÷ 2 = 1,733,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,733,712.5 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 | 3,467,425 | |
| -1 | -3,467,425 |
Now, we try dividing 3,467,425 by 3:
3,467,425 ÷ 3 = 1,155,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,155,808.3333 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 | 3,467,425 | |
| -1 | -3,467,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,467,425 ÷ 4 = 866,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 866,856.25 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 | 3,467,425 | |
| -1 | 3,467,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 47 | 65 | 227 | 235 | 325 | 611 | 1,135 | 1,175 | 2,951 | 3,055 | 5,675 | 10,669 | 14,755 | 15,275 | 53,345 | 73,775 | 138,697 | 266,725 | 693,485 | 3,467,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -47 | -65 | -227 | -235 | -325 | -611 | -1,135 | -1,175 | -2,951 | -3,055 | -5,675 | -10,669 | -14,755 | -15,275 | -53,345 | -73,775 | -138,697 | -266,725 | -693,485 | -3,467,425 |
