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 3,639,955, 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 | 3,639,955 | |
| -1 | -3,639,955 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,639,955.
Example:
1 x 3,639,955 = 3,639,955
and
-1 x -3,639,955 = 3,639,955
Notice both answers equal 3,639,955
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,639,955 and divide it by 2:
3,639,955 ÷ 2 = 1,819,977.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,819,977.5 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 | 3,639,955 | |
| -1 | -3,639,955 |
Now, we try dividing 3,639,955 by 3:
3,639,955 ÷ 3 = 1,213,318.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,213,318.3333 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 | 3,639,955 | |
| -1 | -3,639,955 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,639,955 ÷ 4 = 909,988.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 909,988.75 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 | 3,639,955 | |
| -1 | 3,639,955 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 229 | 289 | 935 | 1,145 | 1,445 | 2,519 | 3,179 | 3,893 | 12,595 | 15,895 | 19,465 | 42,823 | 66,181 | 214,115 | 330,905 | 727,991 | 3,639,955 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -229 | -289 | -935 | -1,145 | -1,445 | -2,519 | -3,179 | -3,893 | -12,595 | -15,895 | -19,465 | -42,823 | -66,181 | -214,115 | -330,905 | -727,991 | -3,639,955 |
