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 3,752,215, 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 | 3,752,215 | |
| -1 | -3,752,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 3,752,215.
Example:
1 x 3,752,215 = 3,752,215
and
-1 x -3,752,215 = 3,752,215
Notice both answers equal 3,752,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 3,752,215 and divide it by 2:
3,752,215 ÷ 2 = 1,876,107.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,876,107.5 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 | 3,752,215 | |
| -1 | -3,752,215 |
Now, we try dividing 3,752,215 by 3:
3,752,215 ÷ 3 = 1,250,738.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,250,738.3333 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 | 3,752,215 | |
| -1 | -3,752,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
3,752,215 ÷ 4 = 938,053.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 938,053.75 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 | 3,752,215 | |
| -1 | 3,752,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 127 | 311 | 635 | 1,555 | 2,413 | 5,909 | 12,065 | 29,545 | 39,497 | 197,485 | 750,443 | 3,752,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -127 | -311 | -635 | -1,555 | -2,413 | -5,909 | -12,065 | -29,545 | -39,497 | -197,485 | -750,443 | -3,752,215 |
