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 3,791,755, 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 | 3,791,755 | |
| -1 | -3,791,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,791,755.
Example:
1 x 3,791,755 = 3,791,755
and
-1 x -3,791,755 = 3,791,755
Notice both answers equal 3,791,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,791,755 and divide it by 2:
3,791,755 ÷ 2 = 1,895,877.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,895,877.5 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 | 3,791,755 | |
| -1 | -3,791,755 |
Now, we try dividing 3,791,755 by 3:
3,791,755 ÷ 3 = 1,263,918.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,263,918.3333 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 | 3,791,755 | |
| -1 | -3,791,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,791,755 ÷ 4 = 947,938.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 947,938.75 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 | 3,791,755 | |
| -1 | 3,791,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 71 | 355 | 781 | 971 | 3,905 | 4,855 | 10,681 | 53,405 | 68,941 | 344,705 | 758,351 | 3,791,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -71 | -355 | -781 | -971 | -3,905 | -4,855 | -10,681 | -53,405 | -68,941 | -344,705 | -758,351 | -3,791,755 |
