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 3,707,165, 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 | 3,707,165 | |
| -1 | -3,707,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,707,165.
Example:
1 x 3,707,165 = 3,707,165
and
-1 x -3,707,165 = 3,707,165
Notice both answers equal 3,707,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,707,165 and divide it by 2:
3,707,165 ÷ 2 = 1,853,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,853,582.5 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 | 3,707,165 | |
| -1 | -3,707,165 |
Now, we try dividing 3,707,165 by 3:
3,707,165 ÷ 3 = 1,235,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,235,721.6667 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 | 3,707,165 | |
| -1 | -3,707,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,707,165 ÷ 4 = 926,791.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 926,791.25 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 | 3,707,165 | |
| -1 | 3,707,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 9,629 | 48,145 | 67,403 | 105,919 | 337,015 | 529,595 | 741,433 | 3,707,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -9,629 | -48,145 | -67,403 | -105,919 | -337,015 | -529,595 | -741,433 | -3,707,165 |
