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 3,711,211, 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 | 3,711,211 | |
| -1 | -3,711,211 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,711,211.
Example:
1 x 3,711,211 = 3,711,211
and
-1 x -3,711,211 = 3,711,211
Notice both answers equal 3,711,211
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,711,211 and divide it by 2:
3,711,211 ÷ 2 = 1,855,605.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,855,605.5 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 | 3,711,211 | |
| -1 | -3,711,211 |
Now, we try dividing 3,711,211 by 3:
3,711,211 ÷ 3 = 1,237,070.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,237,070.3333 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 | 3,711,211 | |
| -1 | -3,711,211 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,711,211 ÷ 4 = 927,802.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 927,802.75 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 | 3,711,211 | |
| -1 | 3,711,211 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 37 | 49 | 89 | 161 | 259 | 623 | 851 | 1,127 | 1,813 | 2,047 | 3,293 | 4,361 | 5,957 | 14,329 | 23,051 | 41,699 | 75,739 | 100,303 | 161,357 | 530,173 | 3,711,211 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -37 | -49 | -89 | -161 | -259 | -623 | -851 | -1,127 | -1,813 | -2,047 | -3,293 | -4,361 | -5,957 | -14,329 | -23,051 | -41,699 | -75,739 | -100,303 | -161,357 | -530,173 | -3,711,211 |
