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 3,791,333, 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 | 3,791,333 | |
| -1 | -3,791,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,791,333.
Example:
1 x 3,791,333 = 3,791,333
and
-1 x -3,791,333 = 3,791,333
Notice both answers equal 3,791,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,791,333 and divide it by 2:
3,791,333 ÷ 2 = 1,895,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,895,666.5 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 | 3,791,333 | |
| -1 | -3,791,333 |
Now, we try dividing 3,791,333 by 3:
3,791,333 ÷ 3 = 1,263,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,263,777.6667 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 | 3,791,333 | |
| -1 | -3,791,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,791,333 ÷ 4 = 947,833.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 947,833.25 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 | 3,791,333 | |
| -1 | 3,791,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 61 | 91 | 427 | 683 | 793 | 4,781 | 5,551 | 8,879 | 41,663 | 62,153 | 291,641 | 541,619 | 3,791,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -61 | -91 | -427 | -683 | -793 | -4,781 | -5,551 | -8,879 | -41,663 | -62,153 | -291,641 | -541,619 | -3,791,333 |
