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 3,530,135, 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 | 3,530,135 | |
| -1 | -3,530,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,530,135.
Example:
1 x 3,530,135 = 3,530,135
and
-1 x -3,530,135 = 3,530,135
Notice both answers equal 3,530,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,530,135 and divide it by 2:
3,530,135 ÷ 2 = 1,765,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,765,067.5 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 | 3,530,135 | |
| -1 | -3,530,135 |
Now, we try dividing 3,530,135 by 3:
3,530,135 ÷ 3 = 1,176,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,176,711.6667 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 | 3,530,135 | |
| -1 | -3,530,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,530,135 ÷ 4 = 882,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 882,533.75 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 | 3,530,135 | |
| -1 | 3,530,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 289 | 349 | 595 | 1,445 | 1,745 | 2,023 | 2,443 | 5,933 | 10,115 | 12,215 | 29,665 | 41,531 | 100,861 | 207,655 | 504,305 | 706,027 | 3,530,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -289 | -349 | -595 | -1,445 | -1,745 | -2,023 | -2,443 | -5,933 | -10,115 | -12,215 | -29,665 | -41,531 | -100,861 | -207,655 | -504,305 | -706,027 | -3,530,135 |
