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 2,410,595, 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 | 2,410,595 | |
| -1 | -2,410,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,410,595.
Example:
1 x 2,410,595 = 2,410,595
and
-1 x -2,410,595 = 2,410,595
Notice both answers equal 2,410,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,410,595 and divide it by 2:
2,410,595 ÷ 2 = 1,205,297.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,205,297.5 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 | 2,410,595 | |
| -1 | -2,410,595 |
Now, we try dividing 2,410,595 by 3:
2,410,595 ÷ 3 = 803,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 803,531.6667 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 | 2,410,595 | |
| -1 | -2,410,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,410,595 ÷ 4 = 602,648.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 602,648.75 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 | 2,410,595 | |
| -1 | 2,410,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 41 | 55 | 205 | 451 | 1,069 | 2,255 | 5,345 | 11,759 | 43,829 | 58,795 | 219,145 | 482,119 | 2,410,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -41 | -55 | -205 | -451 | -1,069 | -2,255 | -5,345 | -11,759 | -43,829 | -58,795 | -219,145 | -482,119 | -2,410,595 |
