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 3,660,545, 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 | 3,660,545 | |
| -1 | -3,660,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,660,545.
Example:
1 x 3,660,545 = 3,660,545
and
-1 x -3,660,545 = 3,660,545
Notice both answers equal 3,660,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,660,545 and divide it by 2:
3,660,545 ÷ 2 = 1,830,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,830,272.5 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 | 3,660,545 | |
| -1 | -3,660,545 |
Now, we try dividing 3,660,545 by 3:
3,660,545 ÷ 3 = 1,220,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,220,181.6667 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 | 3,660,545 | |
| -1 | -3,660,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,660,545 ÷ 4 = 915,136.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 915,136.25 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 | 3,660,545 | |
| -1 | 3,660,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 67 | 223 | 245 | 335 | 469 | 1,115 | 1,561 | 2,345 | 3,283 | 7,805 | 10,927 | 14,941 | 16,415 | 54,635 | 74,705 | 104,587 | 522,935 | 732,109 | 3,660,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -67 | -223 | -245 | -335 | -469 | -1,115 | -1,561 | -2,345 | -3,283 | -7,805 | -10,927 | -14,941 | -16,415 | -54,635 | -74,705 | -104,587 | -522,935 | -732,109 | -3,660,545 |
