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 3,585,925, 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 | 3,585,925 | |
| -1 | -3,585,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,585,925.
Example:
1 x 3,585,925 = 3,585,925
and
-1 x -3,585,925 = 3,585,925
Notice both answers equal 3,585,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,585,925 and divide it by 2:
3,585,925 ÷ 2 = 1,792,962.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,792,962.5 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 | 3,585,925 | |
| -1 | -3,585,925 |
Now, we try dividing 3,585,925 by 3:
3,585,925 ÷ 3 = 1,195,308.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,195,308.3333 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 | 3,585,925 | |
| -1 | -3,585,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,585,925 ÷ 4 = 896,481.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 896,481.25 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 | 3,585,925 | |
| -1 | 3,585,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 175 | 217 | 661 | 775 | 1,085 | 3,305 | 4,627 | 5,425 | 16,525 | 20,491 | 23,135 | 102,455 | 115,675 | 143,437 | 512,275 | 717,185 | 3,585,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -175 | -217 | -661 | -775 | -1,085 | -3,305 | -4,627 | -5,425 | -16,525 | -20,491 | -23,135 | -102,455 | -115,675 | -143,437 | -512,275 | -717,185 | -3,585,925 |
