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 3,715,775, 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 | 3,715,775 | |
| -1 | -3,715,775 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,715,775.
Example:
1 x 3,715,775 = 3,715,775
and
-1 x -3,715,775 = 3,715,775
Notice both answers equal 3,715,775
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,715,775 and divide it by 2:
3,715,775 ÷ 2 = 1,857,887.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,857,887.5 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 | 3,715,775 | |
| -1 | -3,715,775 |
Now, we try dividing 3,715,775 by 3:
3,715,775 ÷ 3 = 1,238,591.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,238,591.6667 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 | 3,715,775 | |
| -1 | -3,715,775 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,715,775 ÷ 4 = 928,943.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 928,943.75 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 | 3,715,775 | |
| -1 | 3,715,775 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 25 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 175 | 425 | 595 | 1,249 | 2,975 | 6,245 | 8,743 | 21,233 | 31,225 | 43,715 | 106,165 | 148,631 | 218,575 | 530,825 | 743,155 | 3,715,775 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -25 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -175 | -425 | -595 | -1,249 | -2,975 | -6,245 | -8,743 | -21,233 | -31,225 | -43,715 | -106,165 | -148,631 | -218,575 | -530,825 | -743,155 | -3,715,775 |
