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 3,525,355, 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 | 3,525,355 | |
| -1 | -3,525,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,525,355.
Example:
1 x 3,525,355 = 3,525,355
and
-1 x -3,525,355 = 3,525,355
Notice both answers equal 3,525,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,525,355 and divide it by 2:
3,525,355 ÷ 2 = 1,762,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,762,677.5 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 | 3,525,355 | |
| -1 | -3,525,355 |
Now, we try dividing 3,525,355 by 3:
3,525,355 ÷ 3 = 1,175,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,175,118.3333 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 | 3,525,355 | |
| -1 | -3,525,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,525,355 ÷ 4 = 881,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 881,338.75 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 | 3,525,355 | |
| -1 | 3,525,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 43 | 95 | 215 | 817 | 863 | 4,085 | 4,315 | 16,397 | 37,109 | 81,985 | 185,545 | 705,071 | 3,525,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -43 | -95 | -215 | -817 | -863 | -4,085 | -4,315 | -16,397 | -37,109 | -81,985 | -185,545 | -705,071 | -3,525,355 |
