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 2,472,095, 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 | 2,472,095 | |
| -1 | -2,472,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,472,095.
Example:
1 x 2,472,095 = 2,472,095
and
-1 x -2,472,095 = 2,472,095
Notice both answers equal 2,472,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,472,095 and divide it by 2:
2,472,095 ÷ 2 = 1,236,047.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,236,047.5 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 | 2,472,095 | |
| -1 | -2,472,095 |
Now, we try dividing 2,472,095 by 3:
2,472,095 ÷ 3 = 824,031.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 824,031.6667 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 | 2,472,095 | |
| -1 | -2,472,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,472,095 ÷ 4 = 618,023.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 618,023.75 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 | 2,472,095 | |
| -1 | 2,472,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 41 | 155 | 205 | 389 | 1,271 | 1,945 | 6,355 | 12,059 | 15,949 | 60,295 | 79,745 | 494,419 | 2,472,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -41 | -155 | -205 | -389 | -1,271 | -1,945 | -6,355 | -12,059 | -15,949 | -60,295 | -79,745 | -494,419 | -2,472,095 |
