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 2,323,321, 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 | 2,323,321 | |
| -1 | -2,323,321 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,323,321.
Example:
1 x 2,323,321 = 2,323,321
and
-1 x -2,323,321 = 2,323,321
Notice both answers equal 2,323,321
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,323,321 and divide it by 2:
2,323,321 ÷ 2 = 1,161,660.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,161,660.5 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 | 2,323,321 | |
| -1 | -2,323,321 |
Now, we try dividing 2,323,321 by 3:
2,323,321 ÷ 3 = 774,440.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 774,440.3333 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 | 2,323,321 | |
| -1 | -2,323,321 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,323,321 ÷ 4 = 580,830.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 580,830.25 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 | 2,323,321 | |
| -1 | 2,323,321 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 121 | 143 | 211 | 847 | 1,001 | 1,477 | 1,573 | 2,321 | 2,743 | 11,011 | 16,247 | 19,201 | 25,531 | 30,173 | 178,717 | 211,211 | 331,903 | 2,323,321 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -121 | -143 | -211 | -847 | -1,001 | -1,477 | -1,573 | -2,321 | -2,743 | -11,011 | -16,247 | -19,201 | -25,531 | -30,173 | -178,717 | -211,211 | -331,903 | -2,323,321 |
