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 3,484,481, 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 | 3,484,481 | |
| -1 | -3,484,481 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,484,481.
Example:
1 x 3,484,481 = 3,484,481
and
-1 x -3,484,481 = 3,484,481
Notice both answers equal 3,484,481
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,484,481 and divide it by 2:
3,484,481 ÷ 2 = 1,742,240.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,742,240.5 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 | 3,484,481 | |
| -1 | -3,484,481 |
Now, we try dividing 3,484,481 by 3:
3,484,481 ÷ 3 = 1,161,493.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,161,493.6667 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 | 3,484,481 | |
| -1 | -3,484,481 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,484,481 ÷ 4 = 871,120.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 871,120.25 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 | 3,484,481 | |
| -1 | 3,484,481 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 59 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 413 | 649 | 767 | 1,001 | 3,481 | 4,543 | 5,369 | 8,437 | 24,367 | 38,291 | 45,253 | 59,059 | 268,037 | 316,771 | 497,783 | 3,484,481 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -59 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -413 | -649 | -767 | -1,001 | -3,481 | -4,543 | -5,369 | -8,437 | -24,367 | -38,291 | -45,253 | -59,059 | -268,037 | -316,771 | -497,783 | -3,484,481 |
