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 3,674,461, 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 | 3,674,461 | |
| -1 | -3,674,461 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,674,461.
Example:
1 x 3,674,461 = 3,674,461
and
-1 x -3,674,461 = 3,674,461
Notice both answers equal 3,674,461
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,674,461 and divide it by 2:
3,674,461 ÷ 2 = 1,837,230.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,837,230.5 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 | 3,674,461 | |
| -1 | -3,674,461 |
Now, we try dividing 3,674,461 by 3:
3,674,461 ÷ 3 = 1,224,820.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,224,820.3333 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 | 3,674,461 | |
| -1 | -3,674,461 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,674,461 ÷ 4 = 918,615.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 918,615.25 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 | 3,674,461 | |
| -1 | 3,674,461 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 41 | 49 | 59 | 217 | 287 | 413 | 1,271 | 1,519 | 1,829 | 2,009 | 2,419 | 2,891 | 8,897 | 12,803 | 16,933 | 62,279 | 74,989 | 89,621 | 118,531 | 524,923 | 3,674,461 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -41 | -49 | -59 | -217 | -287 | -413 | -1,271 | -1,519 | -1,829 | -2,009 | -2,419 | -2,891 | -8,897 | -12,803 | -16,933 | -62,279 | -74,989 | -89,621 | -118,531 | -524,923 | -3,674,461 |
