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 3,674,671, 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 | 3,674,671 | |
| -1 | -3,674,671 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,674,671.
Example:
1 x 3,674,671 = 3,674,671
and
-1 x -3,674,671 = 3,674,671
Notice both answers equal 3,674,671
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,674,671 and divide it by 2:
3,674,671 ÷ 2 = 1,837,335.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,837,335.5 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 | 3,674,671 | |
| -1 | -3,674,671 |
Now, we try dividing 3,674,671 by 3:
3,674,671 ÷ 3 = 1,224,890.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,224,890.3333 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 | 3,674,671 | |
| -1 | -3,674,671 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,674,671 ÷ 4 = 918,667.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 918,667.75 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 | 3,674,671 | |
| -1 | 3,674,671 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 3,671 | 25,697 | 40,381 | 47,723 | 282,667 | 334,061 | 524,953 | 3,674,671 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -3,671 | -25,697 | -40,381 | -47,723 | -282,667 | -334,061 | -524,953 | -3,674,671 |
