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 3,684,967, 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 | 3,684,967 | |
| -1 | -3,684,967 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,684,967.
Example:
1 x 3,684,967 = 3,684,967
and
-1 x -3,684,967 = 3,684,967
Notice both answers equal 3,684,967
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,684,967 and divide it by 2:
3,684,967 ÷ 2 = 1,842,483.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,842,483.5 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 | 3,684,967 | |
| -1 | -3,684,967 |
Now, we try dividing 3,684,967 by 3:
3,684,967 ÷ 3 = 1,228,322.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,228,322.3333 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 | 3,684,967 | |
| -1 | -3,684,967 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,684,967 ÷ 4 = 921,241.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 921,241.75 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 | 3,684,967 | |
| -1 | 3,684,967 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 73 | 143 | 353 | 803 | 949 | 3,883 | 4,589 | 10,439 | 25,769 | 50,479 | 283,459 | 334,997 | 3,684,967 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -73 | -143 | -353 | -803 | -949 | -3,883 | -4,589 | -10,439 | -25,769 | -50,479 | -283,459 | -334,997 | -3,684,967 |
