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 2,383,835, 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 | 2,383,835 | |
| -1 | -2,383,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,383,835.
Example:
1 x 2,383,835 = 2,383,835
and
-1 x -2,383,835 = 2,383,835
Notice both answers equal 2,383,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,383,835 and divide it by 2:
2,383,835 ÷ 2 = 1,191,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,191,917.5 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 | 2,383,835 | |
| -1 | -2,383,835 |
Now, we try dividing 2,383,835 by 3:
2,383,835 ÷ 3 = 794,611.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 794,611.6667 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 | 2,383,835 | |
| -1 | -2,383,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,383,835 ÷ 4 = 595,958.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 595,958.75 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 | 2,383,835 | |
| -1 | 2,383,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 23 | 95 | 115 | 437 | 1,091 | 2,185 | 5,455 | 20,729 | 25,093 | 103,645 | 125,465 | 476,767 | 2,383,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -23 | -95 | -115 | -437 | -1,091 | -2,185 | -5,455 | -20,729 | -25,093 | -103,645 | -125,465 | -476,767 | -2,383,835 |
