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 2,460,241, 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 | 2,460,241 | |
| -1 | -2,460,241 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,460,241.
Example:
1 x 2,460,241 = 2,460,241
and
-1 x -2,460,241 = 2,460,241
Notice both answers equal 2,460,241
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,460,241 and divide it by 2:
2,460,241 ÷ 2 = 1,230,120.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,230,120.5 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 | 2,460,241 | |
| -1 | -2,460,241 |
Now, we try dividing 2,460,241 by 3:
2,460,241 ÷ 3 = 820,080.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 820,080.3333 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 | 2,460,241 | |
| -1 | -2,460,241 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,460,241 ÷ 4 = 615,060.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 615,060.25 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 | 2,460,241 | |
| -1 | 2,460,241 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 37 | 49 | 59 | 161 | 259 | 413 | 851 | 1,127 | 1,357 | 1,813 | 2,183 | 2,891 | 5,957 | 9,499 | 15,281 | 41,699 | 50,209 | 66,493 | 106,967 | 351,463 | 2,460,241 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -37 | -49 | -59 | -161 | -259 | -413 | -851 | -1,127 | -1,357 | -1,813 | -2,183 | -2,891 | -5,957 | -9,499 | -15,281 | -41,699 | -50,209 | -66,493 | -106,967 | -351,463 | -2,460,241 |
