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 3,647,677, 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 | 3,647,677 | |
| -1 | -3,647,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,647,677.
Example:
1 x 3,647,677 = 3,647,677
and
-1 x -3,647,677 = 3,647,677
Notice both answers equal 3,647,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,647,677 and divide it by 2:
3,647,677 ÷ 2 = 1,823,838.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,823,838.5 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 | 3,647,677 | |
| -1 | -3,647,677 |
Now, we try dividing 3,647,677 by 3:
3,647,677 ÷ 3 = 1,215,892.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,215,892.3333 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 | 3,647,677 | |
| -1 | -3,647,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,647,677 ÷ 4 = 911,919.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 911,919.25 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 | 3,647,677 | |
| -1 | 3,647,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 31 | 209 | 341 | 563 | 589 | 6,193 | 6,479 | 10,697 | 17,453 | 117,667 | 191,983 | 331,607 | 3,647,677 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -31 | -209 | -341 | -563 | -589 | -6,193 | -6,479 | -10,697 | -17,453 | -117,667 | -191,983 | -331,607 | -3,647,677 |
