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 3,690,155, 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 | 3,690,155 | |
| -1 | -3,690,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,690,155.
Example:
1 x 3,690,155 = 3,690,155
and
-1 x -3,690,155 = 3,690,155
Notice both answers equal 3,690,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,690,155 and divide it by 2:
3,690,155 ÷ 2 = 1,845,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,845,077.5 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 | 3,690,155 | |
| -1 | -3,690,155 |
Now, we try dividing 3,690,155 by 3:
3,690,155 ÷ 3 = 1,230,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,230,051.6667 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 | 3,690,155 | |
| -1 | -3,690,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,690,155 ÷ 4 = 922,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 922,538.75 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 | 3,690,155 | |
| -1 | 3,690,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 59 | 295 | 413 | 1,787 | 2,065 | 8,935 | 12,509 | 62,545 | 105,433 | 527,165 | 738,031 | 3,690,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -59 | -295 | -413 | -1,787 | -2,065 | -8,935 | -12,509 | -62,545 | -105,433 | -527,165 | -738,031 | -3,690,155 |
