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 2,426,725, 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 | 2,426,725 | |
| -1 | -2,426,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,426,725.
Example:
1 x 2,426,725 = 2,426,725
and
-1 x -2,426,725 = 2,426,725
Notice both answers equal 2,426,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,426,725 and divide it by 2:
2,426,725 ÷ 2 = 1,213,362.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,213,362.5 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 | 2,426,725 | |
| -1 | -2,426,725 |
Now, we try dividing 2,426,725 by 3:
2,426,725 ÷ 3 = 808,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 808,908.3333 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 | 2,426,725 | |
| -1 | -2,426,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,426,725 ÷ 4 = 606,681.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 606,681.25 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 | 2,426,725 | |
| -1 | 2,426,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 283 | 343 | 1,225 | 1,415 | 1,715 | 1,981 | 7,075 | 8,575 | 9,905 | 13,867 | 49,525 | 69,335 | 97,069 | 346,675 | 485,345 | 2,426,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -283 | -343 | -1,225 | -1,415 | -1,715 | -1,981 | -7,075 | -8,575 | -9,905 | -13,867 | -49,525 | -69,335 | -97,069 | -346,675 | -485,345 | -2,426,725 |
