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 3,554,369, 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 | 3,554,369 | |
| -1 | -3,554,369 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,554,369.
Example:
1 x 3,554,369 = 3,554,369
and
-1 x -3,554,369 = 3,554,369
Notice both answers equal 3,554,369
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,554,369 and divide it by 2:
3,554,369 ÷ 2 = 1,777,184.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,777,184.5 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 | 3,554,369 | |
| -1 | -3,554,369 |
Now, we try dividing 3,554,369 by 3:
3,554,369 ÷ 3 = 1,184,789.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,184,789.6667 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 | 3,554,369 | |
| -1 | -3,554,369 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,554,369 ÷ 4 = 888,592.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 888,592.25 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 | 3,554,369 | |
| -1 | 3,554,369 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 139 | 281 | 973 | 1,807 | 1,967 | 3,653 | 12,649 | 25,571 | 39,059 | 273,413 | 507,767 | 3,554,369 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -139 | -281 | -973 | -1,807 | -1,967 | -3,653 | -12,649 | -25,571 | -39,059 | -273,413 | -507,767 | -3,554,369 |
