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 3,535,847, 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 | 3,535,847 | |
| -1 | -3,535,847 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,535,847.
Example:
1 x 3,535,847 = 3,535,847
and
-1 x -3,535,847 = 3,535,847
Notice both answers equal 3,535,847
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,535,847 and divide it by 2:
3,535,847 ÷ 2 = 1,767,923.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,767,923.5 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 | 3,535,847 | |
| -1 | -3,535,847 |
Now, we try dividing 3,535,847 by 3:
3,535,847 ÷ 3 = 1,178,615.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,178,615.6667 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 | 3,535,847 | |
| -1 | -3,535,847 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,535,847 ÷ 4 = 883,961.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 883,961.75 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 | 3,535,847 | |
| -1 | 3,535,847 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 43 | 119 | 301 | 691 | 731 | 4,837 | 5,117 | 11,747 | 29,713 | 82,229 | 207,991 | 505,121 | 3,535,847 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -43 | -119 | -301 | -691 | -731 | -4,837 | -5,117 | -11,747 | -29,713 | -82,229 | -207,991 | -505,121 | -3,535,847 |
