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 3,528,343, 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 | 3,528,343 | |
| -1 | -3,528,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,528,343.
Example:
1 x 3,528,343 = 3,528,343
and
-1 x -3,528,343 = 3,528,343
Notice both answers equal 3,528,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,528,343 and divide it by 2:
3,528,343 ÷ 2 = 1,764,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,764,171.5 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 | 3,528,343 | |
| -1 | -3,528,343 |
Now, we try dividing 3,528,343 by 3:
3,528,343 ÷ 3 = 1,176,114.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,176,114.3333 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 | 3,528,343 | |
| -1 | -3,528,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,528,343 ÷ 4 = 882,085.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 882,085.75 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 | 3,528,343 | |
| -1 | 3,528,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 49 | 91 | 191 | 203 | 377 | 637 | 1,337 | 1,421 | 2,483 | 2,639 | 5,539 | 9,359 | 17,381 | 18,473 | 38,773 | 72,007 | 121,667 | 271,411 | 504,049 | 3,528,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -49 | -91 | -191 | -203 | -377 | -637 | -1,337 | -1,421 | -2,483 | -2,639 | -5,539 | -9,359 | -17,381 | -18,473 | -38,773 | -72,007 | -121,667 | -271,411 | -504,049 | -3,528,343 |
