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 3,628,555, 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 | 3,628,555 | |
| -1 | -3,628,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,628,555.
Example:
1 x 3,628,555 = 3,628,555
and
-1 x -3,628,555 = 3,628,555
Notice both answers equal 3,628,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,628,555 and divide it by 2:
3,628,555 ÷ 2 = 1,814,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,814,277.5 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 | 3,628,555 | |
| -1 | -3,628,555 |
Now, we try dividing 3,628,555 by 3:
3,628,555 ÷ 3 = 1,209,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,209,518.3333 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 | 3,628,555 | |
| -1 | -3,628,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,628,555 ÷ 4 = 907,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 907,138.75 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 | 3,628,555 | |
| -1 | 3,628,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 1,505 | 2,411 | 12,055 | 16,877 | 84,385 | 103,673 | 518,365 | 725,711 | 3,628,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -1,505 | -2,411 | -12,055 | -16,877 | -84,385 | -103,673 | -518,365 | -725,711 | -3,628,555 |
