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 3,629,449, 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 | 3,629,449 | |
| -1 | -3,629,449 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,629,449.
Example:
1 x 3,629,449 = 3,629,449
and
-1 x -3,629,449 = 3,629,449
Notice both answers equal 3,629,449
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,629,449 and divide it by 2:
3,629,449 ÷ 2 = 1,814,724.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,814,724.5 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 | 3,629,449 | |
| -1 | -3,629,449 |
Now, we try dividing 3,629,449 by 3:
3,629,449 ÷ 3 = 1,209,816.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,209,816.3333 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 | 3,629,449 | |
| -1 | -3,629,449 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,629,449 ÷ 4 = 907,362.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 907,362.25 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 | 3,629,449 | |
| -1 | 3,629,449 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 71 | 97 | 527 | 1,207 | 1,649 | 2,201 | 3,007 | 6,887 | 37,417 | 51,119 | 117,079 | 213,497 | 3,629,449 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -71 | -97 | -527 | -1,207 | -1,649 | -2,201 | -3,007 | -6,887 | -37,417 | -51,119 | -117,079 | -213,497 | -3,629,449 |
