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 3,527,335, 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 | 3,527,335 | |
| -1 | -3,527,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,527,335.
Example:
1 x 3,527,335 = 3,527,335
and
-1 x -3,527,335 = 3,527,335
Notice both answers equal 3,527,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,527,335 and divide it by 2:
3,527,335 ÷ 2 = 1,763,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,763,667.5 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 | 3,527,335 | |
| -1 | -3,527,335 |
Now, we try dividing 3,527,335 by 3:
3,527,335 ÷ 3 = 1,175,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,175,778.3333 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 | 3,527,335 | |
| -1 | -3,527,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,527,335 ÷ 4 = 881,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 881,833.75 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 | 3,527,335 | |
| -1 | 3,527,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 3,251 | 16,255 | 22,757 | 100,781 | 113,785 | 503,905 | 705,467 | 3,527,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -3,251 | -16,255 | -22,757 | -100,781 | -113,785 | -503,905 | -705,467 | -3,527,335 |
