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 3,535,169, 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 | 3,535,169 | |
| -1 | -3,535,169 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,535,169.
Example:
1 x 3,535,169 = 3,535,169
and
-1 x -3,535,169 = 3,535,169
Notice both answers equal 3,535,169
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,535,169 and divide it by 2:
3,535,169 ÷ 2 = 1,767,584.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,767,584.5 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 | 3,535,169 | |
| -1 | -3,535,169 |
Now, we try dividing 3,535,169 by 3:
3,535,169 ÷ 3 = 1,178,389.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,178,389.6667 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 | 3,535,169 | |
| -1 | -3,535,169 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,535,169 ÷ 4 = 883,792.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 883,792.25 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 | 3,535,169 | |
| -1 | 3,535,169 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 89 | 157 | 253 | 979 | 1,727 | 2,047 | 3,611 | 13,973 | 22,517 | 39,721 | 153,703 | 321,379 | 3,535,169 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -89 | -157 | -253 | -979 | -1,727 | -2,047 | -3,611 | -13,973 | -22,517 | -39,721 | -153,703 | -321,379 | -3,535,169 |
