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 3,837,067, 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 | 3,837,067 | |
| -1 | -3,837,067 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,837,067.
Example:
1 x 3,837,067 = 3,837,067
and
-1 x -3,837,067 = 3,837,067
Notice both answers equal 3,837,067
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,837,067 and divide it by 2:
3,837,067 ÷ 2 = 1,918,533.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,918,533.5 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 | 3,837,067 | |
| -1 | -3,837,067 |
Now, we try dividing 3,837,067 by 3:
3,837,067 ÷ 3 = 1,279,022.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,279,022.3333 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 | 3,837,067 | |
| -1 | -3,837,067 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,837,067 ÷ 4 = 959,266.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 959,266.75 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 | 3,837,067 | |
| -1 | 3,837,067 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 41 | 299 | 313 | 533 | 943 | 4,069 | 7,199 | 12,259 | 12,833 | 93,587 | 166,829 | 295,159 | 3,837,067 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -41 | -299 | -313 | -533 | -943 | -4,069 | -7,199 | -12,259 | -12,833 | -93,587 | -166,829 | -295,159 | -3,837,067 |
