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 3,577,015, 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 | 3,577,015 | |
| -1 | -3,577,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,577,015.
Example:
1 x 3,577,015 = 3,577,015
and
-1 x -3,577,015 = 3,577,015
Notice both answers equal 3,577,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,577,015 and divide it by 2:
3,577,015 ÷ 2 = 1,788,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,788,507.5 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 | 3,577,015 | |
| -1 | -3,577,015 |
Now, we try dividing 3,577,015 by 3:
3,577,015 ÷ 3 = 1,192,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,192,338.3333 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 | 3,577,015 | |
| -1 | -3,577,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,577,015 ÷ 4 = 894,253.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 894,253.75 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 | 3,577,015 | |
| -1 | 3,577,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 113 | 487 | 565 | 1,469 | 2,435 | 6,331 | 7,345 | 31,655 | 55,031 | 275,155 | 715,403 | 3,577,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -113 | -487 | -565 | -1,469 | -2,435 | -6,331 | -7,345 | -31,655 | -55,031 | -275,155 | -715,403 | -3,577,015 |
