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 3,504,305, 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 | 3,504,305 | |
| -1 | -3,504,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,504,305.
Example:
1 x 3,504,305 = 3,504,305
and
-1 x -3,504,305 = 3,504,305
Notice both answers equal 3,504,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,504,305 and divide it by 2:
3,504,305 ÷ 2 = 1,752,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,752,152.5 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 | 3,504,305 | |
| -1 | -3,504,305 |
Now, we try dividing 3,504,305 by 3:
3,504,305 ÷ 3 = 1,168,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,168,101.6667 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 | 3,504,305 | |
| -1 | -3,504,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,504,305 ÷ 4 = 876,076.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 876,076.25 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 | 3,504,305 | |
| -1 | 3,504,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 59 | 295 | 413 | 1,697 | 2,065 | 8,485 | 11,879 | 59,395 | 100,123 | 500,615 | 700,861 | 3,504,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -59 | -295 | -413 | -1,697 | -2,065 | -8,485 | -11,879 | -59,395 | -100,123 | -500,615 | -700,861 | -3,504,305 |
