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 3,529,085, 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 | 3,529,085 | |
| -1 | -3,529,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,529,085.
Example:
1 x 3,529,085 = 3,529,085
and
-1 x -3,529,085 = 3,529,085
Notice both answers equal 3,529,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,529,085 and divide it by 2:
3,529,085 ÷ 2 = 1,764,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,764,542.5 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 | 3,529,085 | |
| -1 | -3,529,085 |
Now, we try dividing 3,529,085 by 3:
3,529,085 ÷ 3 = 1,176,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,176,361.6667 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 | 3,529,085 | |
| -1 | -3,529,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,529,085 ÷ 4 = 882,271.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 882,271.25 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 | 3,529,085 | |
| -1 | 3,529,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 59 | 295 | 413 | 1,709 | 2,065 | 8,545 | 11,963 | 59,815 | 100,831 | 504,155 | 705,817 | 3,529,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -59 | -295 | -413 | -1,709 | -2,065 | -8,545 | -11,963 | -59,815 | -100,831 | -504,155 | -705,817 | -3,529,085 |
