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 3,703,441, 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 | 3,703,441 | |
| -1 | -3,703,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,703,441.
Example:
1 x 3,703,441 = 3,703,441
and
-1 x -3,703,441 = 3,703,441
Notice both answers equal 3,703,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,703,441 and divide it by 2:
3,703,441 ÷ 2 = 1,851,720.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,851,720.5 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 | 3,703,441 | |
| -1 | -3,703,441 |
Now, we try dividing 3,703,441 by 3:
3,703,441 ÷ 3 = 1,234,480.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,234,480.3333 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 | 3,703,441 | |
| -1 | -3,703,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,703,441 ÷ 4 = 925,860.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 925,860.25 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 | 3,703,441 | |
| -1 | 3,703,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 79 | 181 | 259 | 553 | 1,267 | 2,923 | 6,697 | 14,299 | 20,461 | 46,879 | 100,093 | 529,063 | 3,703,441 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -79 | -181 | -259 | -553 | -1,267 | -2,923 | -6,697 | -14,299 | -20,461 | -46,879 | -100,093 | -529,063 | -3,703,441 |
