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 3,604,433, 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 | 3,604,433 | |
| -1 | -3,604,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,604,433.
Example:
1 x 3,604,433 = 3,604,433
and
-1 x -3,604,433 = 3,604,433
Notice both answers equal 3,604,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,604,433 and divide it by 2:
3,604,433 ÷ 2 = 1,802,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,802,216.5 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 | 3,604,433 | |
| -1 | -3,604,433 |
Now, we try dividing 3,604,433 by 3:
3,604,433 ÷ 3 = 1,201,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,201,477.6667 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 | 3,604,433 | |
| -1 | -3,604,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,604,433 ÷ 4 = 901,108.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 901,108.25 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 | 3,604,433 | |
| -1 | 3,604,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 133 | 287 | 661 | 779 | 4,627 | 5,453 | 12,559 | 27,101 | 87,913 | 189,707 | 514,919 | 3,604,433 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -133 | -287 | -661 | -779 | -4,627 | -5,453 | -12,559 | -27,101 | -87,913 | -189,707 | -514,919 | -3,604,433 |
