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 3,833,011, 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 | 3,833,011 | |
| -1 | -3,833,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,833,011.
Example:
1 x 3,833,011 = 3,833,011
and
-1 x -3,833,011 = 3,833,011
Notice both answers equal 3,833,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,833,011 and divide it by 2:
3,833,011 ÷ 2 = 1,916,505.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,916,505.5 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 | 3,833,011 | |
| -1 | -3,833,011 |
Now, we try dividing 3,833,011 by 3:
3,833,011 ÷ 3 = 1,277,670.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,277,670.3333 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 | 3,833,011 | |
| -1 | -3,833,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,833,011 ÷ 4 = 958,252.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 958,252.75 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 | 3,833,011 | |
| -1 | 3,833,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 73 | 91 | 511 | 577 | 949 | 4,039 | 6,643 | 7,501 | 42,121 | 52,507 | 294,847 | 547,573 | 3,833,011 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -73 | -91 | -511 | -577 | -949 | -4,039 | -6,643 | -7,501 | -42,121 | -52,507 | -294,847 | -547,573 | -3,833,011 |
