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 3,593,485, 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 | 3,593,485 | |
| -1 | -3,593,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,593,485.
Example:
1 x 3,593,485 = 3,593,485
and
-1 x -3,593,485 = 3,593,485
Notice both answers equal 3,593,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,593,485 and divide it by 2:
3,593,485 ÷ 2 = 1,796,742.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,796,742.5 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 | 3,593,485 | |
| -1 | -3,593,485 |
Now, we try dividing 3,593,485 by 3:
3,593,485 ÷ 3 = 1,197,828.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,197,828.3333 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 | 3,593,485 | |
| -1 | -3,593,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,593,485 ÷ 4 = 898,371.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 898,371.25 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 | 3,593,485 | |
| -1 | 3,593,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 83 | 415 | 581 | 1,237 | 2,905 | 6,185 | 8,659 | 43,295 | 102,671 | 513,355 | 718,697 | 3,593,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -83 | -415 | -581 | -1,237 | -2,905 | -6,185 | -8,659 | -43,295 | -102,671 | -513,355 | -718,697 | -3,593,485 |
