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 3,503,339, 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 | 3,503,339 | |
| -1 | -3,503,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,503,339.
Example:
1 x 3,503,339 = 3,503,339
and
-1 x -3,503,339 = 3,503,339
Notice both answers equal 3,503,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,503,339 and divide it by 2:
3,503,339 ÷ 2 = 1,751,669.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,751,669.5 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 | 3,503,339 | |
| -1 | -3,503,339 |
Now, we try dividing 3,503,339 by 3:
3,503,339 ÷ 3 = 1,167,779.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,167,779.6667 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 | 3,503,339 | |
| -1 | -3,503,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,503,339 ÷ 4 = 875,834.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 875,834.75 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 | 3,503,339 | |
| -1 | 3,503,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 103 | 113 | 301 | 721 | 791 | 4,429 | 4,859 | 11,639 | 31,003 | 34,013 | 81,473 | 500,477 | 3,503,339 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -103 | -113 | -301 | -721 | -791 | -4,429 | -4,859 | -11,639 | -31,003 | -34,013 | -81,473 | -500,477 | -3,503,339 |
