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 3,707,755, 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 | 3,707,755 | |
| -1 | -3,707,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,707,755.
Example:
1 x 3,707,755 = 3,707,755
and
-1 x -3,707,755 = 3,707,755
Notice both answers equal 3,707,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,707,755 and divide it by 2:
3,707,755 ÷ 2 = 1,853,877.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,853,877.5 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 | 3,707,755 | |
| -1 | -3,707,755 |
Now, we try dividing 3,707,755 by 3:
3,707,755 ÷ 3 = 1,235,918.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,235,918.3333 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 | 3,707,755 | |
| -1 | -3,707,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,707,755 ÷ 4 = 926,938.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 926,938.75 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 | 3,707,755 | |
| -1 | 3,707,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 1,259 | 2,945 | 6,295 | 23,921 | 39,029 | 119,605 | 195,145 | 741,551 | 3,707,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -1,259 | -2,945 | -6,295 | -23,921 | -39,029 | -119,605 | -195,145 | -741,551 | -3,707,755 |
