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 3,763,159, 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 | 3,763,159 | |
| -1 | -3,763,159 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,763,159.
Example:
1 x 3,763,159 = 3,763,159
and
-1 x -3,763,159 = 3,763,159
Notice both answers equal 3,763,159
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,763,159 and divide it by 2:
3,763,159 ÷ 2 = 1,881,579.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,881,579.5 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 | 3,763,159 | |
| -1 | -3,763,159 |
Now, we try dividing 3,763,159 by 3:
3,763,159 ÷ 3 = 1,254,386.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,254,386.3333 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 | 3,763,159 | |
| -1 | -3,763,159 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,763,159 ÷ 4 = 940,789.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 940,789.75 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 | 3,763,159 | |
| -1 | 3,763,159 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 53 | 101 | 703 | 1,007 | 1,919 | 1,961 | 3,737 | 5,353 | 37,259 | 71,003 | 101,707 | 198,061 | 3,763,159 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -53 | -101 | -703 | -1,007 | -1,919 | -1,961 | -3,737 | -5,353 | -37,259 | -71,003 | -101,707 | -198,061 | -3,763,159 |
