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 3,595,295, 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 | 3,595,295 | |
| -1 | -3,595,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,595,295.
Example:
1 x 3,595,295 = 3,595,295
and
-1 x -3,595,295 = 3,595,295
Notice both answers equal 3,595,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,595,295 and divide it by 2:
3,595,295 ÷ 2 = 1,797,647.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,797,647.5 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 | 3,595,295 | |
| -1 | -3,595,295 |
Now, we try dividing 3,595,295 by 3:
3,595,295 ÷ 3 = 1,198,431.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,198,431.6667 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 | 3,595,295 | |
| -1 | -3,595,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,595,295 ÷ 4 = 898,823.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 898,823.75 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 | 3,595,295 | |
| -1 | 3,595,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 131 | 499 | 655 | 1,441 | 2,495 | 5,489 | 7,205 | 27,445 | 65,369 | 326,845 | 719,059 | 3,595,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -131 | -499 | -655 | -1,441 | -2,495 | -5,489 | -7,205 | -27,445 | -65,369 | -326,845 | -719,059 | -3,595,295 |
