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 3,648,593, 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 | 3,648,593 | |
| -1 | -3,648,593 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,648,593.
Example:
1 x 3,648,593 = 3,648,593
and
-1 x -3,648,593 = 3,648,593
Notice both answers equal 3,648,593
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,648,593 and divide it by 2:
3,648,593 ÷ 2 = 1,824,296.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,824,296.5 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 | 3,648,593 | |
| -1 | -3,648,593 |
Now, we try dividing 3,648,593 by 3:
3,648,593 ÷ 3 = 1,216,197.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,216,197.6667 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 | 3,648,593 | |
| -1 | -3,648,593 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,648,593 ÷ 4 = 912,148.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 912,148.25 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 | 3,648,593 | |
| -1 | 3,648,593 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 61 | 107 | 559 | 793 | 1,391 | 2,623 | 4,601 | 6,527 | 34,099 | 59,813 | 84,851 | 280,661 | 3,648,593 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -61 | -107 | -559 | -793 | -1,391 | -2,623 | -4,601 | -6,527 | -34,099 | -59,813 | -84,851 | -280,661 | -3,648,593 |
