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 3,610,477, 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 | 3,610,477 | |
| -1 | -3,610,477 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,610,477.
Example:
1 x 3,610,477 = 3,610,477
and
-1 x -3,610,477 = 3,610,477
Notice both answers equal 3,610,477
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,610,477 and divide it by 2:
3,610,477 ÷ 2 = 1,805,238.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,805,238.5 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 | 3,610,477 | |
| -1 | -3,610,477 |
Now, we try dividing 3,610,477 by 3:
3,610,477 ÷ 3 = 1,203,492.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,203,492.3333 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 | 3,610,477 | |
| -1 | -3,610,477 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,610,477 ÷ 4 = 902,619.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 902,619.25 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 | 3,610,477 | |
| -1 | 3,610,477 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 31 | 221 | 289 | 403 | 527 | 961 | 3,757 | 6,851 | 8,959 | 12,493 | 16,337 | 116,467 | 212,381 | 277,729 | 3,610,477 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -31 | -221 | -289 | -403 | -527 | -961 | -3,757 | -6,851 | -8,959 | -12,493 | -16,337 | -116,467 | -212,381 | -277,729 | -3,610,477 |
