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 3,704,995, 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 | 3,704,995 | |
| -1 | -3,704,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,704,995.
Example:
1 x 3,704,995 = 3,704,995
and
-1 x -3,704,995 = 3,704,995
Notice both answers equal 3,704,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,704,995 and divide it by 2:
3,704,995 ÷ 2 = 1,852,497.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,852,497.5 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 | 3,704,995 | |
| -1 | -3,704,995 |
Now, we try dividing 3,704,995 by 3:
3,704,995 ÷ 3 = 1,234,998.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,234,998.3333 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 | 3,704,995 | |
| -1 | -3,704,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,704,995 ÷ 4 = 926,248.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 926,248.75 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 | 3,704,995 | |
| -1 | 3,704,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 2,861 | 14,305 | 20,027 | 100,135 | 105,857 | 529,285 | 740,999 | 3,704,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -2,861 | -14,305 | -20,027 | -100,135 | -105,857 | -529,285 | -740,999 | -3,704,995 |
