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 3,534,355, 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 | 3,534,355 | |
| -1 | -3,534,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,534,355.
Example:
1 x 3,534,355 = 3,534,355
and
-1 x -3,534,355 = 3,534,355
Notice both answers equal 3,534,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,534,355 and divide it by 2:
3,534,355 ÷ 2 = 1,767,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,767,177.5 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 | 3,534,355 | |
| -1 | -3,534,355 |
Now, we try dividing 3,534,355 by 3:
3,534,355 ÷ 3 = 1,178,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,178,118.3333 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 | 3,534,355 | |
| -1 | -3,534,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,534,355 ÷ 4 = 883,588.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 883,588.75 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 | 3,534,355 | |
| -1 | 3,534,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 179 | 359 | 895 | 1,795 | 1,969 | 3,949 | 9,845 | 19,745 | 64,261 | 321,305 | 706,871 | 3,534,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -179 | -359 | -895 | -1,795 | -1,969 | -3,949 | -9,845 | -19,745 | -64,261 | -321,305 | -706,871 | -3,534,355 |
