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 2,376,395, 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 | 2,376,395 | |
| -1 | -2,376,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,376,395.
Example:
1 x 2,376,395 = 2,376,395
and
-1 x -2,376,395 = 2,376,395
Notice both answers equal 2,376,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,376,395 and divide it by 2:
2,376,395 ÷ 2 = 1,188,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,188,197.5 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 | 2,376,395 | |
| -1 | -2,376,395 |
Now, we try dividing 2,376,395 by 3:
2,376,395 ÷ 3 = 792,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 792,131.6667 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 | 2,376,395 | |
| -1 | -2,376,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,376,395 ÷ 4 = 594,098.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 594,098.75 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 | 2,376,395 | |
| -1 | 2,376,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 1,505 | 1,579 | 7,895 | 11,053 | 55,265 | 67,897 | 339,485 | 475,279 | 2,376,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -1,505 | -1,579 | -7,895 | -11,053 | -55,265 | -67,897 | -339,485 | -475,279 | -2,376,395 |
