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 3,646,765, 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 | 3,646,765 | |
| -1 | -3,646,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,646,765.
Example:
1 x 3,646,765 = 3,646,765
and
-1 x -3,646,765 = 3,646,765
Notice both answers equal 3,646,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,646,765 and divide it by 2:
3,646,765 ÷ 2 = 1,823,382.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,823,382.5 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 | 3,646,765 | |
| -1 | -3,646,765 |
Now, we try dividing 3,646,765 by 3:
3,646,765 ÷ 3 = 1,215,588.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,215,588.3333 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 | 3,646,765 | |
| -1 | -3,646,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,646,765 ÷ 4 = 911,691.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 911,691.25 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 | 3,646,765 | |
| -1 | 3,646,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 23 | 95 | 115 | 437 | 1,669 | 2,185 | 8,345 | 31,711 | 38,387 | 158,555 | 191,935 | 729,353 | 3,646,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -23 | -95 | -115 | -437 | -1,669 | -2,185 | -8,345 | -31,711 | -38,387 | -158,555 | -191,935 | -729,353 | -3,646,765 |
