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 3,753,085, 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 | 3,753,085 | |
| -1 | -3,753,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,753,085.
Example:
1 x 3,753,085 = 3,753,085
and
-1 x -3,753,085 = 3,753,085
Notice both answers equal 3,753,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,753,085 and divide it by 2:
3,753,085 ÷ 2 = 1,876,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,876,542.5 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 | 3,753,085 | |
| -1 | -3,753,085 |
Now, we try dividing 3,753,085 by 3:
3,753,085 ÷ 3 = 1,251,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,251,028.3333 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 | 3,753,085 | |
| -1 | -3,753,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,753,085 ÷ 4 = 938,271.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 938,271.25 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 | 3,753,085 | |
| -1 | 3,753,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 157 | 683 | 785 | 1,099 | 3,415 | 4,781 | 5,495 | 23,905 | 107,231 | 536,155 | 750,617 | 3,753,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -157 | -683 | -785 | -1,099 | -3,415 | -4,781 | -5,495 | -23,905 | -107,231 | -536,155 | -750,617 | -3,753,085 |
