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 3,594,463, 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 | 3,594,463 | |
| -1 | -3,594,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,594,463.
Example:
1 x 3,594,463 = 3,594,463
and
-1 x -3,594,463 = 3,594,463
Notice both answers equal 3,594,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,594,463 and divide it by 2:
3,594,463 ÷ 2 = 1,797,231.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,797,231.5 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 | 3,594,463 | |
| -1 | -3,594,463 |
Now, we try dividing 3,594,463 by 3:
3,594,463 ÷ 3 = 1,198,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,198,154.3333 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 | 3,594,463 | |
| -1 | -3,594,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,594,463 ÷ 4 = 898,615.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 898,615.75 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 | 3,594,463 | |
| -1 | 3,594,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 29 | 317 | 391 | 493 | 667 | 5,389 | 7,291 | 9,193 | 11,339 | 123,947 | 156,281 | 211,439 | 3,594,463 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -29 | -317 | -391 | -493 | -667 | -5,389 | -7,291 | -9,193 | -11,339 | -123,947 | -156,281 | -211,439 | -3,594,463 |
