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 2,377,535, 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 | 2,377,535 | |
| -1 | -2,377,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,377,535.
Example:
1 x 2,377,535 = 2,377,535
and
-1 x -2,377,535 = 2,377,535
Notice both answers equal 2,377,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,377,535 and divide it by 2:
2,377,535 ÷ 2 = 1,188,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,188,767.5 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 | 2,377,535 | |
| -1 | -2,377,535 |
Now, we try dividing 2,377,535 by 3:
2,377,535 ÷ 3 = 792,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 792,511.6667 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 | 2,377,535 | |
| -1 | -2,377,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,377,535 ÷ 4 = 594,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 594,383.75 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 | 2,377,535 | |
| -1 | 2,377,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 83 | 85 | 337 | 415 | 1,411 | 1,685 | 5,729 | 7,055 | 27,971 | 28,645 | 139,855 | 475,507 | 2,377,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -83 | -85 | -337 | -415 | -1,411 | -1,685 | -5,729 | -7,055 | -27,971 | -28,645 | -139,855 | -475,507 | -2,377,535 |
