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 3,482,773, 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 | 3,482,773 | |
| -1 | -3,482,773 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,482,773.
Example:
1 x 3,482,773 = 3,482,773
and
-1 x -3,482,773 = 3,482,773
Notice both answers equal 3,482,773
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,482,773 and divide it by 2:
3,482,773 ÷ 2 = 1,741,386.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,741,386.5 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 | 3,482,773 | |
| -1 | -3,482,773 |
Now, we try dividing 3,482,773 by 3:
3,482,773 ÷ 3 = 1,160,924.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,160,924.3333 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 | 3,482,773 | |
| -1 | -3,482,773 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,482,773 ÷ 4 = 870,693.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 870,693.25 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 | 3,482,773 | |
| -1 | 3,482,773 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 37 | 49 | 113 | 119 | 259 | 629 | 791 | 833 | 1,813 | 1,921 | 4,181 | 4,403 | 5,537 | 13,447 | 29,267 | 30,821 | 71,077 | 94,129 | 204,869 | 497,539 | 3,482,773 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -37 | -49 | -113 | -119 | -259 | -629 | -791 | -833 | -1,813 | -1,921 | -4,181 | -4,403 | -5,537 | -13,447 | -29,267 | -30,821 | -71,077 | -94,129 | -204,869 | -497,539 | -3,482,773 |
