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 3,791,765, 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 | 3,791,765 | |
| -1 | -3,791,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,791,765.
Example:
1 x 3,791,765 = 3,791,765
and
-1 x -3,791,765 = 3,791,765
Notice both answers equal 3,791,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,791,765 and divide it by 2:
3,791,765 ÷ 2 = 1,895,882.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,895,882.5 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 | 3,791,765 | |
| -1 | -3,791,765 |
Now, we try dividing 3,791,765 by 3:
3,791,765 ÷ 3 = 1,263,921.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,263,921.6667 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 | 3,791,765 | |
| -1 | -3,791,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,791,765 ÷ 4 = 947,941.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 947,941.25 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 | 3,791,765 | |
| -1 | 3,791,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 31 | 85 | 155 | 527 | 1,439 | 2,635 | 7,195 | 24,463 | 44,609 | 122,315 | 223,045 | 758,353 | 3,791,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -31 | -85 | -155 | -527 | -1,439 | -2,635 | -7,195 | -24,463 | -44,609 | -122,315 | -223,045 | -758,353 | -3,791,765 |
