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 3,545,975, 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 | 3,545,975 | |
| -1 | -3,545,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,545,975.
Example:
1 x 3,545,975 = 3,545,975
and
-1 x -3,545,975 = 3,545,975
Notice both answers equal 3,545,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,545,975 and divide it by 2:
3,545,975 ÷ 2 = 1,772,987.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,772,987.5 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 | 3,545,975 | |
| -1 | -3,545,975 |
Now, we try dividing 3,545,975 by 3:
3,545,975 ÷ 3 = 1,181,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,181,991.6667 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 | 3,545,975 | |
| -1 | -3,545,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,545,975 ÷ 4 = 886,493.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 886,493.75 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 | 3,545,975 | |
| -1 | 3,545,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 67 | 73 | 145 | 335 | 365 | 725 | 1,675 | 1,825 | 1,943 | 2,117 | 4,891 | 9,715 | 10,585 | 24,455 | 48,575 | 52,925 | 122,275 | 141,839 | 709,195 | 3,545,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -67 | -73 | -145 | -335 | -365 | -725 | -1,675 | -1,825 | -1,943 | -2,117 | -4,891 | -9,715 | -10,585 | -24,455 | -48,575 | -52,925 | -122,275 | -141,839 | -709,195 | -3,545,975 |
