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 3,488,695, 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 | 3,488,695 | |
| -1 | -3,488,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,488,695.
Example:
1 x 3,488,695 = 3,488,695
and
-1 x -3,488,695 = 3,488,695
Notice both answers equal 3,488,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,488,695 and divide it by 2:
3,488,695 ÷ 2 = 1,744,347.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,744,347.5 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 | 3,488,695 | |
| -1 | -3,488,695 |
Now, we try dividing 3,488,695 by 3:
3,488,695 ÷ 3 = 1,162,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,162,898.3333 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 | 3,488,695 | |
| -1 | -3,488,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,488,695 ÷ 4 = 872,173.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 872,173.75 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 | 3,488,695 | |
| -1 | 3,488,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 263 | 379 | 1,315 | 1,841 | 1,895 | 2,653 | 9,205 | 13,265 | 99,677 | 498,385 | 697,739 | 3,488,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -263 | -379 | -1,315 | -1,841 | -1,895 | -2,653 | -9,205 | -13,265 | -99,677 | -498,385 | -697,739 | -3,488,695 |
