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 2,147,635, 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 | 2,147,635 | |
| -1 | -2,147,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,147,635.
Example:
1 x 2,147,635 = 2,147,635
and
-1 x -2,147,635 = 2,147,635
Notice both answers equal 2,147,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,147,635 and divide it by 2:
2,147,635 ÷ 2 = 1,073,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,073,817.5 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 | 2,147,635 | |
| -1 | -2,147,635 |
Now, we try dividing 2,147,635 by 3:
2,147,635 ÷ 3 = 715,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 715,878.3333 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 | 2,147,635 | |
| -1 | -2,147,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,147,635 ÷ 4 = 536,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 536,908.75 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 | 2,147,635 | |
| -1 | 2,147,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 1,427 | 1,505 | 7,135 | 9,989 | 49,945 | 61,361 | 306,805 | 429,527 | 2,147,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -1,427 | -1,505 | -7,135 | -9,989 | -49,945 | -61,361 | -306,805 | -429,527 | -2,147,635 |
