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 3,572,107, 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 | 3,572,107 | |
| -1 | -3,572,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,572,107.
Example:
1 x 3,572,107 = 3,572,107
and
-1 x -3,572,107 = 3,572,107
Notice both answers equal 3,572,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,572,107 and divide it by 2:
3,572,107 ÷ 2 = 1,786,053.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,786,053.5 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 | 3,572,107 | |
| -1 | -3,572,107 |
Now, we try dividing 3,572,107 by 3:
3,572,107 ÷ 3 = 1,190,702.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,190,702.3333 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 | 3,572,107 | |
| -1 | -3,572,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,572,107 ÷ 4 = 893,026.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 893,026.75 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 | 3,572,107 | |
| -1 | 3,572,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 77 | 161 | 253 | 1,771 | 2,017 | 14,119 | 22,187 | 46,391 | 155,309 | 324,737 | 510,301 | 3,572,107 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -77 | -161 | -253 | -1,771 | -2,017 | -14,119 | -22,187 | -46,391 | -155,309 | -324,737 | -510,301 | -3,572,107 |
