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 3,908,575, 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 | 3,908,575 | |
| -1 | -3,908,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,908,575.
Example:
1 x 3,908,575 = 3,908,575
and
-1 x -3,908,575 = 3,908,575
Notice both answers equal 3,908,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,908,575 and divide it by 2:
3,908,575 ÷ 2 = 1,954,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,954,287.5 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 | 3,908,575 | |
| -1 | -3,908,575 |
Now, we try dividing 3,908,575 by 3:
3,908,575 ÷ 3 = 1,302,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,302,858.3333 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 | 3,908,575 | |
| -1 | -3,908,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,908,575 ÷ 4 = 977,143.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 977,143.75 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 | 3,908,575 | |
| -1 | 3,908,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 61 | 233 | 275 | 305 | 671 | 1,165 | 1,525 | 2,563 | 3,355 | 5,825 | 12,815 | 14,213 | 16,775 | 64,075 | 71,065 | 156,343 | 355,325 | 781,715 | 3,908,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -61 | -233 | -275 | -305 | -671 | -1,165 | -1,525 | -2,563 | -3,355 | -5,825 | -12,815 | -14,213 | -16,775 | -64,075 | -71,065 | -156,343 | -355,325 | -781,715 | -3,908,575 |
