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 2,372,335, 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 | 2,372,335 | |
| -1 | -2,372,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,372,335.
Example:
1 x 2,372,335 = 2,372,335
and
-1 x -2,372,335 = 2,372,335
Notice both answers equal 2,372,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,372,335 and divide it by 2:
2,372,335 ÷ 2 = 1,186,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,186,167.5 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 | 2,372,335 | |
| -1 | -2,372,335 |
Now, we try dividing 2,372,335 by 3:
2,372,335 ÷ 3 = 790,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 790,778.3333 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 | 2,372,335 | |
| -1 | -2,372,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,372,335 ÷ 4 = 593,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 593,083.75 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 | 2,372,335 | |
| -1 | 2,372,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 49 | 115 | 161 | 245 | 421 | 805 | 1,127 | 2,105 | 2,947 | 5,635 | 9,683 | 14,735 | 20,629 | 48,415 | 67,781 | 103,145 | 338,905 | 474,467 | 2,372,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -49 | -115 | -161 | -245 | -421 | -805 | -1,127 | -2,105 | -2,947 | -5,635 | -9,683 | -14,735 | -20,629 | -48,415 | -67,781 | -103,145 | -338,905 | -474,467 | -2,372,335 |
