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 3,681,335, 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 | 3,681,335 | |
| -1 | -3,681,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,681,335.
Example:
1 x 3,681,335 = 3,681,335
and
-1 x -3,681,335 = 3,681,335
Notice both answers equal 3,681,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,681,335 and divide it by 2:
3,681,335 ÷ 2 = 1,840,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,840,667.5 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 | 3,681,335 | |
| -1 | -3,681,335 |
Now, we try dividing 3,681,335 by 3:
3,681,335 ÷ 3 = 1,227,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,227,111.6667 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 | 3,681,335 | |
| -1 | -3,681,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,681,335 ÷ 4 = 920,333.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 920,333.75 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 | 3,681,335 | |
| -1 | 3,681,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 107 | 535 | 749 | 983 | 3,745 | 4,915 | 6,881 | 34,405 | 105,181 | 525,905 | 736,267 | 3,681,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -107 | -535 | -749 | -983 | -3,745 | -4,915 | -6,881 | -34,405 | -105,181 | -525,905 | -736,267 | -3,681,335 |
