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 3,806,803, 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 | 3,806,803 | |
| -1 | -3,806,803 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,806,803.
Example:
1 x 3,806,803 = 3,806,803
and
-1 x -3,806,803 = 3,806,803
Notice both answers equal 3,806,803
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,806,803 and divide it by 2:
3,806,803 ÷ 2 = 1,903,401.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,903,401.5 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 | 3,806,803 | |
| -1 | -3,806,803 |
Now, we try dividing 3,806,803 by 3:
3,806,803 ÷ 3 = 1,268,934.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,268,934.3333 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 | 3,806,803 | |
| -1 | -3,806,803 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,806,803 ÷ 4 = 951,700.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 951,700.75 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 | 3,806,803 | |
| -1 | 3,806,803 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 3,803 | 26,621 | 41,833 | 49,439 | 292,831 | 346,073 | 543,829 | 3,806,803 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -3,803 | -26,621 | -41,833 | -49,439 | -292,831 | -346,073 | -543,829 | -3,806,803 |
