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 3,565,289, 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 | 3,565,289 | |
| -1 | -3,565,289 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,565,289.
Example:
1 x 3,565,289 = 3,565,289
and
-1 x -3,565,289 = 3,565,289
Notice both answers equal 3,565,289
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,565,289 and divide it by 2:
3,565,289 ÷ 2 = 1,782,644.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,782,644.5 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 | 3,565,289 | |
| -1 | -3,565,289 |
Now, we try dividing 3,565,289 by 3:
3,565,289 ÷ 3 = 1,188,429.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,188,429.6667 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 | 3,565,289 | |
| -1 | -3,565,289 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,565,289 ÷ 4 = 891,322.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 891,322.25 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 | 3,565,289 | |
| -1 | 3,565,289 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 49 | 91 | 193 | 203 | 377 | 637 | 1,351 | 1,421 | 2,509 | 2,639 | 5,597 | 9,457 | 17,563 | 18,473 | 39,179 | 72,761 | 122,941 | 274,253 | 509,327 | 3,565,289 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -49 | -91 | -193 | -203 | -377 | -637 | -1,351 | -1,421 | -2,509 | -2,639 | -5,597 | -9,457 | -17,563 | -18,473 | -39,179 | -72,761 | -122,941 | -274,253 | -509,327 | -3,565,289 |
