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 3,530,059, 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 | 3,530,059 | |
| -1 | -3,530,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,530,059.
Example:
1 x 3,530,059 = 3,530,059
and
-1 x -3,530,059 = 3,530,059
Notice both answers equal 3,530,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,530,059 and divide it by 2:
3,530,059 ÷ 2 = 1,765,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,765,029.5 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 | 3,530,059 | |
| -1 | -3,530,059 |
Now, we try dividing 3,530,059 by 3:
3,530,059 ÷ 3 = 1,176,686.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,176,686.3333 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 | 3,530,059 | |
| -1 | -3,530,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,530,059 ÷ 4 = 882,514.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 882,514.75 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 | 3,530,059 | |
| -1 | 3,530,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 41 | 179 | 481 | 533 | 1,517 | 2,327 | 6,623 | 7,339 | 19,721 | 86,099 | 95,407 | 271,543 | 3,530,059 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -41 | -179 | -481 | -533 | -1,517 | -2,327 | -6,623 | -7,339 | -19,721 | -86,099 | -95,407 | -271,543 | -3,530,059 |
