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 3,909,695, 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 | 3,909,695 | |
| -1 | -3,909,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,909,695.
Example:
1 x 3,909,695 = 3,909,695
and
-1 x -3,909,695 = 3,909,695
Notice both answers equal 3,909,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,909,695 and divide it by 2:
3,909,695 ÷ 2 = 1,954,847.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,954,847.5 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 | 3,909,695 | |
| -1 | -3,909,695 |
Now, we try dividing 3,909,695 by 3:
3,909,695 ÷ 3 = 1,303,231.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,303,231.6667 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 | 3,909,695 | |
| -1 | -3,909,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,909,695 ÷ 4 = 977,423.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 977,423.75 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 | 3,909,695 | |
| -1 | 3,909,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 127 | 131 | 235 | 635 | 655 | 5,969 | 6,157 | 16,637 | 29,845 | 30,785 | 83,185 | 781,939 | 3,909,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -127 | -131 | -235 | -635 | -655 | -5,969 | -6,157 | -16,637 | -29,845 | -30,785 | -83,185 | -781,939 | -3,909,695 |
