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 2,088,377, 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 | 2,088,377 | |
| -1 | -2,088,377 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,088,377.
Example:
1 x 2,088,377 = 2,088,377
and
-1 x -2,088,377 = 2,088,377
Notice both answers equal 2,088,377
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,088,377 and divide it by 2:
2,088,377 ÷ 2 = 1,044,188.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,044,188.5 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 | 2,088,377 | |
| -1 | -2,088,377 |
Now, we try dividing 2,088,377 by 3:
2,088,377 ÷ 3 = 696,125.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 696,125.6667 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 | 2,088,377 | |
| -1 | -2,088,377 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,088,377 ÷ 4 = 522,094.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 522,094.25 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 | 2,088,377 | |
| -1 | 2,088,377 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 31 | 101 | 667 | 713 | 899 | 2,323 | 2,929 | 3,131 | 20,677 | 67,367 | 72,013 | 90,799 | 2,088,377 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -31 | -101 | -667 | -713 | -899 | -2,323 | -2,929 | -3,131 | -20,677 | -67,367 | -72,013 | -90,799 | -2,088,377 |
