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 3,593,863, 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 | 3,593,863 | |
| -1 | -3,593,863 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,593,863.
Example:
1 x 3,593,863 = 3,593,863
and
-1 x -3,593,863 = 3,593,863
Notice both answers equal 3,593,863
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,593,863 and divide it by 2:
3,593,863 ÷ 2 = 1,796,931.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,796,931.5 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 | 3,593,863 | |
| -1 | -3,593,863 |
Now, we try dividing 3,593,863 by 3:
3,593,863 ÷ 3 = 1,197,954.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,197,954.3333 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 | 3,593,863 | |
| -1 | -3,593,863 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,593,863 ÷ 4 = 898,465.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 898,465.75 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 | 3,593,863 | |
| -1 | 3,593,863 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 73 | 91 | 511 | 541 | 949 | 3,787 | 6,643 | 7,033 | 39,493 | 49,231 | 276,451 | 513,409 | 3,593,863 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -73 | -91 | -511 | -541 | -949 | -3,787 | -6,643 | -7,033 | -39,493 | -49,231 | -276,451 | -513,409 | -3,593,863 |
