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 3,693,179, 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 | 3,693,179 | |
| -1 | -3,693,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,693,179.
Example:
1 x 3,693,179 = 3,693,179
and
-1 x -3,693,179 = 3,693,179
Notice both answers equal 3,693,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,693,179 and divide it by 2:
3,693,179 ÷ 2 = 1,846,589.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,846,589.5 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 | 3,693,179 | |
| -1 | -3,693,179 |
Now, we try dividing 3,693,179 by 3:
3,693,179 ÷ 3 = 1,231,059.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,231,059.6667 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 | 3,693,179 | |
| -1 | -3,693,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,693,179 ÷ 4 = 923,294.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 923,294.75 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 | 3,693,179 | |
| -1 | 3,693,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 29 | 49 | 113 | 161 | 203 | 667 | 791 | 1,127 | 1,421 | 2,599 | 3,277 | 4,669 | 5,537 | 18,193 | 22,939 | 32,683 | 75,371 | 127,351 | 160,573 | 527,597 | 3,693,179 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -29 | -49 | -113 | -161 | -203 | -667 | -791 | -1,127 | -1,421 | -2,599 | -3,277 | -4,669 | -5,537 | -18,193 | -22,939 | -32,683 | -75,371 | -127,351 | -160,573 | -527,597 | -3,693,179 |
