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 3,790,915, 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 | 3,790,915 | |
| -1 | -3,790,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,790,915.
Example:
1 x 3,790,915 = 3,790,915
and
-1 x -3,790,915 = 3,790,915
Notice both answers equal 3,790,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,790,915 and divide it by 2:
3,790,915 ÷ 2 = 1,895,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,895,457.5 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 | 3,790,915 | |
| -1 | -3,790,915 |
Now, we try dividing 3,790,915 by 3:
3,790,915 ÷ 3 = 1,263,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,263,638.3333 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 | 3,790,915 | |
| -1 | -3,790,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,790,915 ÷ 4 = 947,728.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 947,728.75 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 | 3,790,915 | |
| -1 | 3,790,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 103 | 433 | 515 | 1,751 | 2,165 | 7,361 | 8,755 | 36,805 | 44,599 | 222,995 | 758,183 | 3,790,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -103 | -433 | -515 | -1,751 | -2,165 | -7,361 | -8,755 | -36,805 | -44,599 | -222,995 | -758,183 | -3,790,915 |
