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 3,541,355, 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 | 3,541,355 | |
| -1 | -3,541,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,541,355.
Example:
1 x 3,541,355 = 3,541,355
and
-1 x -3,541,355 = 3,541,355
Notice both answers equal 3,541,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,541,355 and divide it by 2:
3,541,355 ÷ 2 = 1,770,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,770,677.5 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 | 3,541,355 | |
| -1 | -3,541,355 |
Now, we try dividing 3,541,355 by 3:
3,541,355 ÷ 3 = 1,180,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,180,451.6667 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 | 3,541,355 | |
| -1 | -3,541,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,541,355 ÷ 4 = 885,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 885,338.75 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 | 3,541,355 | |
| -1 | 3,541,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 61 | 85 | 305 | 683 | 1,037 | 3,415 | 5,185 | 11,611 | 41,663 | 58,055 | 208,315 | 708,271 | 3,541,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -61 | -85 | -305 | -683 | -1,037 | -3,415 | -5,185 | -11,611 | -41,663 | -58,055 | -208,315 | -708,271 | -3,541,355 |
