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 2,414,615, 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 | 2,414,615 | |
| -1 | -2,414,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,414,615.
Example:
1 x 2,414,615 = 2,414,615
and
-1 x -2,414,615 = 2,414,615
Notice both answers equal 2,414,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,414,615 and divide it by 2:
2,414,615 ÷ 2 = 1,207,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,207,307.5 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 | 2,414,615 | |
| -1 | -2,414,615 |
Now, we try dividing 2,414,615 by 3:
2,414,615 ÷ 3 = 804,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 804,871.6667 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 | 2,414,615 | |
| -1 | -2,414,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,414,615 ÷ 4 = 603,653.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 603,653.75 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 | 2,414,615 | |
| -1 | 2,414,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 3,631 | 18,155 | 25,417 | 68,989 | 127,085 | 344,945 | 482,923 | 2,414,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -3,631 | -18,155 | -25,417 | -68,989 | -127,085 | -344,945 | -482,923 | -2,414,615 |
