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 3,579,565, 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 | 3,579,565 | |
| -1 | -3,579,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,579,565.
Example:
1 x 3,579,565 = 3,579,565
and
-1 x -3,579,565 = 3,579,565
Notice both answers equal 3,579,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,579,565 and divide it by 2:
3,579,565 ÷ 2 = 1,789,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,789,782.5 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 | 3,579,565 | |
| -1 | -3,579,565 |
Now, we try dividing 3,579,565 by 3:
3,579,565 ÷ 3 = 1,193,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,193,188.3333 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 | 3,579,565 | |
| -1 | -3,579,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,579,565 ÷ 4 = 894,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 894,891.25 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 | 3,579,565 | |
| -1 | 3,579,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 37 | 55 | 185 | 407 | 1,759 | 2,035 | 8,795 | 19,349 | 65,083 | 96,745 | 325,415 | 715,913 | 3,579,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -37 | -55 | -185 | -407 | -1,759 | -2,035 | -8,795 | -19,349 | -65,083 | -96,745 | -325,415 | -715,913 | -3,579,565 |
