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 3,682,795, 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 | 3,682,795 | |
| -1 | -3,682,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,682,795.
Example:
1 x 3,682,795 = 3,682,795
and
-1 x -3,682,795 = 3,682,795
Notice both answers equal 3,682,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,682,795 and divide it by 2:
3,682,795 ÷ 2 = 1,841,397.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,841,397.5 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 | 3,682,795 | |
| -1 | -3,682,795 |
Now, we try dividing 3,682,795 by 3:
3,682,795 ÷ 3 = 1,227,598.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,227,598.3333 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 | 3,682,795 | |
| -1 | -3,682,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,682,795 ÷ 4 = 920,698.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 920,698.75 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 | 3,682,795 | |
| -1 | 3,682,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 629 | 1,171 | 3,145 | 5,855 | 19,907 | 43,327 | 99,535 | 216,635 | 736,559 | 3,682,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -629 | -1,171 | -3,145 | -5,855 | -19,907 | -43,327 | -99,535 | -216,635 | -736,559 | -3,682,795 |
