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 2,423,735, 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 | 2,423,735 | |
| -1 | -2,423,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,423,735.
Example:
1 x 2,423,735 = 2,423,735
and
-1 x -2,423,735 = 2,423,735
Notice both answers equal 2,423,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,423,735 and divide it by 2:
2,423,735 ÷ 2 = 1,211,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,211,867.5 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 | 2,423,735 | |
| -1 | -2,423,735 |
Now, we try dividing 2,423,735 by 3:
2,423,735 ÷ 3 = 807,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 807,911.6667 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 | 2,423,735 | |
| -1 | -2,423,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,423,735 ÷ 4 = 605,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 605,933.75 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 | 2,423,735 | |
| -1 | 2,423,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 823 | 2,945 | 4,115 | 15,637 | 25,513 | 78,185 | 127,565 | 484,747 | 2,423,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -823 | -2,945 | -4,115 | -15,637 | -25,513 | -78,185 | -127,565 | -484,747 | -2,423,735 |
