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 3,676,135, 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 | 3,676,135 | |
| -1 | -3,676,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,676,135.
Example:
1 x 3,676,135 = 3,676,135
and
-1 x -3,676,135 = 3,676,135
Notice both answers equal 3,676,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,676,135 and divide it by 2:
3,676,135 ÷ 2 = 1,838,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,838,067.5 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 | 3,676,135 | |
| -1 | -3,676,135 |
Now, we try dividing 3,676,135 by 3:
3,676,135 ÷ 3 = 1,225,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,225,378.3333 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 | 3,676,135 | |
| -1 | -3,676,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,676,135 ÷ 4 = 919,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 919,033.75 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 | 3,676,135 | |
| -1 | 3,676,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 37 | 155 | 185 | 641 | 1,147 | 3,205 | 5,735 | 19,871 | 23,717 | 99,355 | 118,585 | 735,227 | 3,676,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -37 | -155 | -185 | -641 | -1,147 | -3,205 | -5,735 | -19,871 | -23,717 | -99,355 | -118,585 | -735,227 | -3,676,135 |
