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 3,600,595, 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 | 3,600,595 | |
| -1 | -3,600,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,600,595.
Example:
1 x 3,600,595 = 3,600,595
and
-1 x -3,600,595 = 3,600,595
Notice both answers equal 3,600,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,600,595 and divide it by 2:
3,600,595 ÷ 2 = 1,800,297.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,800,297.5 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 | 3,600,595 | |
| -1 | -3,600,595 |
Now, we try dividing 3,600,595 by 3:
3,600,595 ÷ 3 = 1,200,198.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,200,198.3333 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 | 3,600,595 | |
| -1 | -3,600,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,600,595 ÷ 4 = 900,148.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 900,148.75 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 | 3,600,595 | |
| -1 | 3,600,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 151 | 251 | 755 | 1,255 | 2,869 | 4,769 | 14,345 | 23,845 | 37,901 | 189,505 | 720,119 | 3,600,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -151 | -251 | -755 | -1,255 | -2,869 | -4,769 | -14,345 | -23,845 | -37,901 | -189,505 | -720,119 | -3,600,595 |
