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 3,593,117, 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 | 3,593,117 | |
| -1 | -3,593,117 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,593,117.
Example:
1 x 3,593,117 = 3,593,117
and
-1 x -3,593,117 = 3,593,117
Notice both answers equal 3,593,117
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,593,117 and divide it by 2:
3,593,117 ÷ 2 = 1,796,558.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,796,558.5 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 | 3,593,117 | |
| -1 | -3,593,117 |
Now, we try dividing 3,593,117 by 3:
3,593,117 ÷ 3 = 1,197,705.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,197,705.6667 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 | 3,593,117 | |
| -1 | -3,593,117 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,593,117 ÷ 4 = 898,279.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 898,279.25 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 | 3,593,117 | |
| -1 | 3,593,117 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 41 | 257 | 341 | 451 | 1,271 | 2,827 | 7,967 | 10,537 | 13,981 | 87,637 | 115,907 | 326,647 | 3,593,117 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -41 | -257 | -341 | -451 | -1,271 | -2,827 | -7,967 | -10,537 | -13,981 | -87,637 | -115,907 | -326,647 | -3,593,117 |
