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 2,426,275, 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 | 2,426,275 | |
| -1 | -2,426,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,426,275.
Example:
1 x 2,426,275 = 2,426,275
and
-1 x -2,426,275 = 2,426,275
Notice both answers equal 2,426,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,426,275 and divide it by 2:
2,426,275 ÷ 2 = 1,213,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,213,137.5 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 | 2,426,275 | |
| -1 | -2,426,275 |
Now, we try dividing 2,426,275 by 3:
2,426,275 ÷ 3 = 808,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 808,758.3333 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 | 2,426,275 | |
| -1 | -2,426,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,426,275 ÷ 4 = 606,568.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 606,568.75 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 | 2,426,275 | |
| -1 | 2,426,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 43 | 61 | 185 | 215 | 305 | 925 | 1,075 | 1,525 | 1,591 | 2,257 | 2,623 | 7,955 | 11,285 | 13,115 | 39,775 | 56,425 | 65,575 | 97,051 | 485,255 | 2,426,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -43 | -61 | -185 | -215 | -305 | -925 | -1,075 | -1,525 | -1,591 | -2,257 | -2,623 | -7,955 | -11,285 | -13,115 | -39,775 | -56,425 | -65,575 | -97,051 | -485,255 | -2,426,275 |
