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 3,730,525, 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 | 3,730,525 | |
| -1 | -3,730,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,730,525.
Example:
1 x 3,730,525 = 3,730,525
and
-1 x -3,730,525 = 3,730,525
Notice both answers equal 3,730,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,730,525 and divide it by 2:
3,730,525 ÷ 2 = 1,865,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,865,262.5 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 | 3,730,525 | |
| -1 | -3,730,525 |
Now, we try dividing 3,730,525 by 3:
3,730,525 ÷ 3 = 1,243,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,243,508.3333 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 | 3,730,525 | |
| -1 | -3,730,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,730,525 ÷ 4 = 932,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 932,631.25 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 | 3,730,525 | |
| -1 | 3,730,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 109 | 185 | 545 | 925 | 1,369 | 2,725 | 4,033 | 6,845 | 20,165 | 34,225 | 100,825 | 149,221 | 746,105 | 3,730,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -109 | -185 | -545 | -925 | -1,369 | -2,725 | -4,033 | -6,845 | -20,165 | -34,225 | -100,825 | -149,221 | -746,105 | -3,730,525 |
