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 3,654,475, 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 | 3,654,475 | |
| -1 | -3,654,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,654,475.
Example:
1 x 3,654,475 = 3,654,475
and
-1 x -3,654,475 = 3,654,475
Notice both answers equal 3,654,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,654,475 and divide it by 2:
3,654,475 ÷ 2 = 1,827,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,827,237.5 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 | 3,654,475 | |
| -1 | -3,654,475 |
Now, we try dividing 3,654,475 by 3:
3,654,475 ÷ 3 = 1,218,158.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,218,158.3333 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 | 3,654,475 | |
| -1 | -3,654,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,654,475 ÷ 4 = 913,618.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 913,618.75 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 | 3,654,475 | |
| -1 | 3,654,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 97 | 137 | 275 | 485 | 685 | 1,067 | 1,507 | 2,425 | 3,425 | 5,335 | 7,535 | 13,289 | 26,675 | 37,675 | 66,445 | 146,179 | 332,225 | 730,895 | 3,654,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -97 | -137 | -275 | -485 | -685 | -1,067 | -1,507 | -2,425 | -3,425 | -5,335 | -7,535 | -13,289 | -26,675 | -37,675 | -66,445 | -146,179 | -332,225 | -730,895 | -3,654,475 |
