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 3,564,743, 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 | 3,564,743 | |
| -1 | -3,564,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,564,743.
Example:
1 x 3,564,743 = 3,564,743
and
-1 x -3,564,743 = 3,564,743
Notice both answers equal 3,564,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,564,743 and divide it by 2:
3,564,743 ÷ 2 = 1,782,371.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,782,371.5 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 | 3,564,743 | |
| -1 | -3,564,743 |
Now, we try dividing 3,564,743 by 3:
3,564,743 ÷ 3 = 1,188,247.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,188,247.6667 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 | 3,564,743 | |
| -1 | -3,564,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,564,743 ÷ 4 = 891,185.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 891,185.75 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 | 3,564,743 | |
| -1 | 3,564,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 43 | 91 | 301 | 559 | 911 | 3,913 | 6,377 | 11,843 | 39,173 | 82,901 | 274,211 | 509,249 | 3,564,743 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -43 | -91 | -301 | -559 | -911 | -3,913 | -6,377 | -11,843 | -39,173 | -82,901 | -274,211 | -509,249 | -3,564,743 |
