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 2,505,919, 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 | 2,505,919 | |
| -1 | -2,505,919 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,505,919.
Example:
1 x 2,505,919 = 2,505,919
and
-1 x -2,505,919 = 2,505,919
Notice both answers equal 2,505,919
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,505,919 and divide it by 2:
2,505,919 ÷ 2 = 1,252,959.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,252,959.5 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 | 2,505,919 | |
| -1 | -2,505,919 |
Now, we try dividing 2,505,919 by 3:
2,505,919 ÷ 3 = 835,306.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 835,306.3333 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 | 2,505,919 | |
| -1 | -2,505,919 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,505,919 ÷ 4 = 626,479.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 626,479.75 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 | 2,505,919 | |
| -1 | 2,505,919 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 23 | 29 | 221 | 289 | 299 | 377 | 391 | 493 | 667 | 3,757 | 5,083 | 6,409 | 6,647 | 8,381 | 8,671 | 11,339 | 86,411 | 108,953 | 147,407 | 192,763 | 2,505,919 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -23 | -29 | -221 | -289 | -299 | -377 | -391 | -493 | -667 | -3,757 | -5,083 | -6,409 | -6,647 | -8,381 | -8,671 | -11,339 | -86,411 | -108,953 | -147,407 | -192,763 | -2,505,919 |
