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 3,503,353, 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 | 3,503,353 | |
| -1 | -3,503,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,503,353.
Example:
1 x 3,503,353 = 3,503,353
and
-1 x -3,503,353 = 3,503,353
Notice both answers equal 3,503,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,503,353 and divide it by 2:
3,503,353 ÷ 2 = 1,751,676.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,751,676.5 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 | 3,503,353 | |
| -1 | -3,503,353 |
Now, we try dividing 3,503,353 by 3:
3,503,353 ÷ 3 = 1,167,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,167,784.3333 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 | 3,503,353 | |
| -1 | -3,503,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,503,353 ÷ 4 = 875,838.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 875,838.25 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 | 3,503,353 | |
| -1 | 3,503,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 53 | 71 | 133 | 371 | 497 | 931 | 1,007 | 1,349 | 2,597 | 3,479 | 3,763 | 7,049 | 9,443 | 26,341 | 49,343 | 66,101 | 71,497 | 184,387 | 500,479 | 3,503,353 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -53 | -71 | -133 | -371 | -497 | -931 | -1,007 | -1,349 | -2,597 | -3,479 | -3,763 | -7,049 | -9,443 | -26,341 | -49,343 | -66,101 | -71,497 | -184,387 | -500,479 | -3,503,353 |
