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 3,676,309, 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 | 3,676,309 | |
| -1 | -3,676,309 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,676,309.
Example:
1 x 3,676,309 = 3,676,309
and
-1 x -3,676,309 = 3,676,309
Notice both answers equal 3,676,309
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,676,309 and divide it by 2:
3,676,309 ÷ 2 = 1,838,154.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,838,154.5 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 | 3,676,309 | |
| -1 | -3,676,309 |
Now, we try dividing 3,676,309 by 3:
3,676,309 ÷ 3 = 1,225,436.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,225,436.3333 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 | 3,676,309 | |
| -1 | -3,676,309 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,676,309 ÷ 4 = 919,077.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 919,077.25 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 | 3,676,309 | |
| -1 | 3,676,309 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 71 | 91 | 497 | 569 | 923 | 3,983 | 6,461 | 7,397 | 40,399 | 51,779 | 282,793 | 525,187 | 3,676,309 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -71 | -91 | -497 | -569 | -923 | -3,983 | -6,461 | -7,397 | -40,399 | -51,779 | -282,793 | -525,187 | -3,676,309 |
