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 3,484,439, 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 | 3,484,439 | |
| -1 | -3,484,439 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,484,439.
Example:
1 x 3,484,439 = 3,484,439
and
-1 x -3,484,439 = 3,484,439
Notice both answers equal 3,484,439
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,484,439 and divide it by 2:
3,484,439 ÷ 2 = 1,742,219.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,742,219.5 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 | 3,484,439 | |
| -1 | -3,484,439 |
Now, we try dividing 3,484,439 by 3:
3,484,439 ÷ 3 = 1,161,479.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,161,479.6667 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 | 3,484,439 | |
| -1 | -3,484,439 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,484,439 ÷ 4 = 871,109.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 871,109.75 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 | 3,484,439 | |
| -1 | 3,484,439 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 47 | 49 | 89 | 119 | 329 | 623 | 799 | 833 | 1,513 | 2,303 | 4,183 | 4,361 | 5,593 | 10,591 | 29,281 | 39,151 | 71,111 | 74,137 | 204,967 | 497,777 | 3,484,439 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -47 | -49 | -89 | -119 | -329 | -623 | -799 | -833 | -1,513 | -2,303 | -4,183 | -4,361 | -5,593 | -10,591 | -29,281 | -39,151 | -71,111 | -74,137 | -204,967 | -497,777 | -3,484,439 |
