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 3,576,251, 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 | 3,576,251 | |
| -1 | -3,576,251 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,576,251.
Example:
1 x 3,576,251 = 3,576,251
and
-1 x -3,576,251 = 3,576,251
Notice both answers equal 3,576,251
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,576,251 and divide it by 2:
3,576,251 ÷ 2 = 1,788,125.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,788,125.5 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 | 3,576,251 | |
| -1 | -3,576,251 |
Now, we try dividing 3,576,251 by 3:
3,576,251 ÷ 3 = 1,192,083.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,192,083.6667 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 | 3,576,251 | |
| -1 | -3,576,251 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,576,251 ÷ 4 = 894,062.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 894,062.75 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 | 3,576,251 | |
| -1 | 3,576,251 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 79 | 203 | 223 | 553 | 1,561 | 2,291 | 6,467 | 16,037 | 17,617 | 45,269 | 123,319 | 510,893 | 3,576,251 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -79 | -203 | -223 | -553 | -1,561 | -2,291 | -6,467 | -16,037 | -17,617 | -45,269 | -123,319 | -510,893 | -3,576,251 |
