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 3,523,807, 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 | 3,523,807 | |
| -1 | -3,523,807 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,523,807.
Example:
1 x 3,523,807 = 3,523,807
and
-1 x -3,523,807 = 3,523,807
Notice both answers equal 3,523,807
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,523,807 and divide it by 2:
3,523,807 ÷ 2 = 1,761,903.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,761,903.5 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 | 3,523,807 | |
| -1 | -3,523,807 |
Now, we try dividing 3,523,807 by 3:
3,523,807 ÷ 3 = 1,174,602.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,174,602.3333 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 | 3,523,807 | |
| -1 | -3,523,807 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,523,807 ÷ 4 = 880,951.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 880,951.75 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 | 3,523,807 | |
| -1 | 3,523,807 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 43 | 161 | 301 | 509 | 989 | 3,563 | 6,923 | 11,707 | 21,887 | 81,949 | 153,209 | 503,401 | 3,523,807 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -43 | -161 | -301 | -509 | -989 | -3,563 | -6,923 | -11,707 | -21,887 | -81,949 | -153,209 | -503,401 | -3,523,807 |
