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 3,555,365, 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 | 3,555,365 | |
| -1 | -3,555,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,555,365.
Example:
1 x 3,555,365 = 3,555,365
and
-1 x -3,555,365 = 3,555,365
Notice both answers equal 3,555,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,555,365 and divide it by 2:
3,555,365 ÷ 2 = 1,777,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,777,682.5 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 | 3,555,365 | |
| -1 | -3,555,365 |
Now, we try dividing 3,555,365 by 3:
3,555,365 ÷ 3 = 1,185,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,185,121.6667 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 | 3,555,365 | |
| -1 | -3,555,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,555,365 ÷ 4 = 888,841.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 888,841.25 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 | 3,555,365 | |
| -1 | 3,555,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 127 | 509 | 635 | 1,397 | 2,545 | 5,599 | 6,985 | 27,995 | 64,643 | 323,215 | 711,073 | 3,555,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -127 | -509 | -635 | -1,397 | -2,545 | -5,599 | -6,985 | -27,995 | -64,643 | -323,215 | -711,073 | -3,555,365 |
