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 3,637,711, 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 | 3,637,711 | |
| -1 | -3,637,711 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,637,711.
Example:
1 x 3,637,711 = 3,637,711
and
-1 x -3,637,711 = 3,637,711
Notice both answers equal 3,637,711
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,637,711 and divide it by 2:
3,637,711 ÷ 2 = 1,818,855.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,818,855.5 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 | 3,637,711 | |
| -1 | -3,637,711 |
Now, we try dividing 3,637,711 by 3:
3,637,711 ÷ 3 = 1,212,570.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,212,570.3333 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 | 3,637,711 | |
| -1 | -3,637,711 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,637,711 ÷ 4 = 909,427.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 909,427.75 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 | 3,637,711 | |
| -1 | 3,637,711 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 49 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 397 | 539 | 833 | 1,309 | 2,779 | 4,367 | 6,749 | 9,163 | 19,453 | 30,569 | 47,243 | 74,239 | 213,983 | 330,701 | 519,673 | 3,637,711 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -49 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -397 | -539 | -833 | -1,309 | -2,779 | -4,367 | -6,749 | -9,163 | -19,453 | -30,569 | -47,243 | -74,239 | -213,983 | -330,701 | -519,673 | -3,637,711 |
