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 3,520,265, 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 | 3,520,265 | |
| -1 | -3,520,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,520,265.
Example:
1 x 3,520,265 = 3,520,265
and
-1 x -3,520,265 = 3,520,265
Notice both answers equal 3,520,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,520,265 and divide it by 2:
3,520,265 ÷ 2 = 1,760,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,760,132.5 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 | 3,520,265 | |
| -1 | -3,520,265 |
Now, we try dividing 3,520,265 by 3:
3,520,265 ÷ 3 = 1,173,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,173,421.6667 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 | 3,520,265 | |
| -1 | -3,520,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,520,265 ÷ 4 = 880,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 880,066.25 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 | 3,520,265 | |
| -1 | 3,520,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 4,373 | 21,865 | 30,611 | 100,579 | 153,055 | 502,895 | 704,053 | 3,520,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -4,373 | -21,865 | -30,611 | -100,579 | -153,055 | -502,895 | -704,053 | -3,520,265 |
