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 3,745,555, 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 | 3,745,555 | |
| -1 | -3,745,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,745,555.
Example:
1 x 3,745,555 = 3,745,555
and
-1 x -3,745,555 = 3,745,555
Notice both answers equal 3,745,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,745,555 and divide it by 2:
3,745,555 ÷ 2 = 1,872,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,872,777.5 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 | 3,745,555 | |
| -1 | -3,745,555 |
Now, we try dividing 3,745,555 by 3:
3,745,555 ÷ 3 = 1,248,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,248,518.3333 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 | 3,745,555 | |
| -1 | -3,745,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,745,555 ÷ 4 = 936,388.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 936,388.75 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 | 3,745,555 | |
| -1 | 3,745,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 41 | 55 | 121 | 151 | 205 | 451 | 605 | 755 | 1,661 | 2,255 | 4,961 | 6,191 | 8,305 | 18,271 | 24,805 | 30,955 | 68,101 | 91,355 | 340,505 | 749,111 | 3,745,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -41 | -55 | -121 | -151 | -205 | -451 | -605 | -755 | -1,661 | -2,255 | -4,961 | -6,191 | -8,305 | -18,271 | -24,805 | -30,955 | -68,101 | -91,355 | -340,505 | -749,111 | -3,745,555 |
