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 3,800,605, 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 | 3,800,605 | |
| -1 | -3,800,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,800,605.
Example:
1 x 3,800,605 = 3,800,605
and
-1 x -3,800,605 = 3,800,605
Notice both answers equal 3,800,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,800,605 and divide it by 2:
3,800,605 ÷ 2 = 1,900,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,900,302.5 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 | 3,800,605 | |
| -1 | -3,800,605 |
Now, we try dividing 3,800,605 by 3:
3,800,605 ÷ 3 = 1,266,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,266,868.3333 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 | 3,800,605 | |
| -1 | -3,800,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,800,605 ÷ 4 = 950,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 950,151.25 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 | 3,800,605 | |
| -1 | 3,800,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 61 | 85 | 305 | 733 | 1,037 | 3,665 | 5,185 | 12,461 | 44,713 | 62,305 | 223,565 | 760,121 | 3,800,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -61 | -85 | -305 | -733 | -1,037 | -3,665 | -5,185 | -12,461 | -44,713 | -62,305 | -223,565 | -760,121 | -3,800,605 |
