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 3,559,115, 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 | 3,559,115 | |
| -1 | -3,559,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,559,115.
Example:
1 x 3,559,115 = 3,559,115
and
-1 x -3,559,115 = 3,559,115
Notice both answers equal 3,559,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,559,115 and divide it by 2:
3,559,115 ÷ 2 = 1,779,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,779,557.5 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 | 3,559,115 | |
| -1 | -3,559,115 |
Now, we try dividing 3,559,115 by 3:
3,559,115 ÷ 3 = 1,186,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,186,371.6667 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 | 3,559,115 | |
| -1 | -3,559,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,559,115 ÷ 4 = 889,778.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 889,778.75 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 | 3,559,115 | |
| -1 | 3,559,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 73 | 199 | 245 | 365 | 511 | 995 | 1,393 | 2,555 | 3,577 | 6,965 | 9,751 | 14,527 | 17,885 | 48,755 | 72,635 | 101,689 | 508,445 | 711,823 | 3,559,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -73 | -199 | -245 | -365 | -511 | -995 | -1,393 | -2,555 | -3,577 | -6,965 | -9,751 | -14,527 | -17,885 | -48,755 | -72,635 | -101,689 | -508,445 | -711,823 | -3,559,115 |
