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 3,787,495, 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 | 3,787,495 | |
| -1 | -3,787,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,787,495.
Example:
1 x 3,787,495 = 3,787,495
and
-1 x -3,787,495 = 3,787,495
Notice both answers equal 3,787,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,787,495 and divide it by 2:
3,787,495 ÷ 2 = 1,893,747.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,893,747.5 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 | 3,787,495 | |
| -1 | -3,787,495 |
Now, we try dividing 3,787,495 by 3:
3,787,495 ÷ 3 = 1,262,498.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,262,498.3333 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 | 3,787,495 | |
| -1 | -3,787,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,787,495 ÷ 4 = 946,873.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 946,873.75 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 | 3,787,495 | |
| -1 | 3,787,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 71 | 227 | 235 | 355 | 1,135 | 3,337 | 10,669 | 16,117 | 16,685 | 53,345 | 80,585 | 757,499 | 3,787,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -71 | -227 | -235 | -355 | -1,135 | -3,337 | -10,669 | -16,117 | -16,685 | -53,345 | -80,585 | -757,499 | -3,787,495 |
