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 3,593,855, 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 | 3,593,855 | |
| -1 | -3,593,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,593,855.
Example:
1 x 3,593,855 = 3,593,855
and
-1 x -3,593,855 = 3,593,855
Notice both answers equal 3,593,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,593,855 and divide it by 2:
3,593,855 ÷ 2 = 1,796,927.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,796,927.5 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 | 3,593,855 | |
| -1 | -3,593,855 |
Now, we try dividing 3,593,855 by 3:
3,593,855 ÷ 3 = 1,197,951.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,197,951.6667 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 | 3,593,855 | |
| -1 | -3,593,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,593,855 ÷ 4 = 898,463.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 898,463.75 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 | 3,593,855 | |
| -1 | 3,593,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 47 | 205 | 235 | 373 | 1,865 | 1,927 | 9,635 | 15,293 | 17,531 | 76,465 | 87,655 | 718,771 | 3,593,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -47 | -205 | -235 | -373 | -1,865 | -1,927 | -9,635 | -15,293 | -17,531 | -76,465 | -87,655 | -718,771 | -3,593,855 |
