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 3,616,067, 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 | 3,616,067 | |
| -1 | -3,616,067 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,616,067.
Example:
1 x 3,616,067 = 3,616,067
and
-1 x -3,616,067 = 3,616,067
Notice both answers equal 3,616,067
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,616,067 and divide it by 2:
3,616,067 ÷ 2 = 1,808,033.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,808,033.5 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 | 3,616,067 | |
| -1 | -3,616,067 |
Now, we try dividing 3,616,067 by 3:
3,616,067 ÷ 3 = 1,205,355.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,205,355.6667 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 | 3,616,067 | |
| -1 | -3,616,067 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,616,067 ÷ 4 = 904,016.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 904,016.75 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 | 3,616,067 | |
| -1 | 3,616,067 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 79 | 91 | 503 | 553 | 1,027 | 3,521 | 6,539 | 7,189 | 39,737 | 45,773 | 278,159 | 516,581 | 3,616,067 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -79 | -91 | -503 | -553 | -1,027 | -3,521 | -6,539 | -7,189 | -39,737 | -45,773 | -278,159 | -516,581 | -3,616,067 |
