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 2,321,275, 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 | 2,321,275 | |
| -1 | -2,321,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,321,275.
Example:
1 x 2,321,275 = 2,321,275
and
-1 x -2,321,275 = 2,321,275
Notice both answers equal 2,321,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,321,275 and divide it by 2:
2,321,275 ÷ 2 = 1,160,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,160,637.5 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 | 2,321,275 | |
| -1 | -2,321,275 |
Now, we try dividing 2,321,275 by 3:
2,321,275 ÷ 3 = 773,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 773,758.3333 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 | 2,321,275 | |
| -1 | -2,321,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,321,275 ÷ 4 = 580,318.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 580,318.75 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 | 2,321,275 | |
| -1 | 2,321,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 25 | 55 | 115 | 253 | 275 | 367 | 575 | 1,265 | 1,835 | 4,037 | 6,325 | 8,441 | 9,175 | 20,185 | 42,205 | 92,851 | 100,925 | 211,025 | 464,255 | 2,321,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -25 | -55 | -115 | -253 | -275 | -367 | -575 | -1,265 | -1,835 | -4,037 | -6,325 | -8,441 | -9,175 | -20,185 | -42,205 | -92,851 | -100,925 | -211,025 | -464,255 | -2,321,275 |
