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 3,601,355, 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 | 3,601,355 | |
| -1 | -3,601,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,601,355.
Example:
1 x 3,601,355 = 3,601,355
and
-1 x -3,601,355 = 3,601,355
Notice both answers equal 3,601,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,601,355 and divide it by 2:
3,601,355 ÷ 2 = 1,800,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,800,677.5 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 | 3,601,355 | |
| -1 | -3,601,355 |
Now, we try dividing 3,601,355 by 3:
3,601,355 ÷ 3 = 1,200,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,200,451.6667 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 | 3,601,355 | |
| -1 | -3,601,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,601,355 ÷ 4 = 900,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 900,338.75 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 | 3,601,355 | |
| -1 | 3,601,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 167 | 227 | 835 | 1,135 | 3,173 | 4,313 | 15,865 | 21,565 | 37,909 | 189,545 | 720,271 | 3,601,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -167 | -227 | -835 | -1,135 | -3,173 | -4,313 | -15,865 | -21,565 | -37,909 | -189,545 | -720,271 | -3,601,355 |
