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 3,768,035, 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 | 3,768,035 | |
| -1 | -3,768,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,768,035.
Example:
1 x 3,768,035 = 3,768,035
and
-1 x -3,768,035 = 3,768,035
Notice both answers equal 3,768,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,768,035 and divide it by 2:
3,768,035 ÷ 2 = 1,884,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,884,017.5 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 | 3,768,035 | |
| -1 | -3,768,035 |
Now, we try dividing 3,768,035 by 3:
3,768,035 ÷ 3 = 1,256,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,256,011.6667 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 | 3,768,035 | |
| -1 | -3,768,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,768,035 ÷ 4 = 942,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 942,008.75 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 | 3,768,035 | |
| -1 | 3,768,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 59 | 241 | 265 | 295 | 1,205 | 3,127 | 12,773 | 14,219 | 15,635 | 63,865 | 71,095 | 753,607 | 3,768,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -59 | -241 | -265 | -295 | -1,205 | -3,127 | -12,773 | -14,219 | -15,635 | -63,865 | -71,095 | -753,607 | -3,768,035 |
