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 3,617,005, 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 | 3,617,005 | |
| -1 | -3,617,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,617,005.
Example:
1 x 3,617,005 = 3,617,005
and
-1 x -3,617,005 = 3,617,005
Notice both answers equal 3,617,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,617,005 and divide it by 2:
3,617,005 ÷ 2 = 1,808,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,808,502.5 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 | 3,617,005 | |
| -1 | -3,617,005 |
Now, we try dividing 3,617,005 by 3:
3,617,005 ÷ 3 = 1,205,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,205,668.3333 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 | 3,617,005 | |
| -1 | -3,617,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,617,005 ÷ 4 = 904,251.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 904,251.25 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 | 3,617,005 | |
| -1 | 3,617,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 6,079 | 30,395 | 42,553 | 103,343 | 212,765 | 516,715 | 723,401 | 3,617,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -6,079 | -30,395 | -42,553 | -103,343 | -212,765 | -516,715 | -723,401 | -3,617,005 |
