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 3,749,555, 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 | 3,749,555 | |
| -1 | -3,749,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,749,555.
Example:
1 x 3,749,555 = 3,749,555
and
-1 x -3,749,555 = 3,749,555
Notice both answers equal 3,749,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,749,555 and divide it by 2:
3,749,555 ÷ 2 = 1,874,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,874,777.5 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 | 3,749,555 | |
| -1 | -3,749,555 |
Now, we try dividing 3,749,555 by 3:
3,749,555 ÷ 3 = 1,249,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,249,851.6667 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 | 3,749,555 | |
| -1 | -3,749,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,749,555 ÷ 4 = 937,388.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 937,388.75 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 | 3,749,555 | |
| -1 | 3,749,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 29 | 95 | 145 | 551 | 1,361 | 2,755 | 6,805 | 25,859 | 39,469 | 129,295 | 197,345 | 749,911 | 3,749,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -29 | -95 | -145 | -551 | -1,361 | -2,755 | -6,805 | -25,859 | -39,469 | -129,295 | -197,345 | -749,911 | -3,749,555 |
