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 2,609,299, 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 | 2,609,299 | |
| -1 | -2,609,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,609,299.
Example:
1 x 2,609,299 = 2,609,299
and
-1 x -2,609,299 = 2,609,299
Notice both answers equal 2,609,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,609,299 and divide it by 2:
2,609,299 ÷ 2 = 1,304,649.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,304,649.5 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 | 2,609,299 | |
| -1 | -2,609,299 |
Now, we try dividing 2,609,299 by 3:
2,609,299 ÷ 3 = 869,766.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 869,766.3333 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 | 2,609,299 | |
| -1 | -2,609,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,609,299 ÷ 4 = 652,324.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 652,324.75 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 | 2,609,299 | |
| -1 | 2,609,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 47 | 49 | 77 | 103 | 329 | 517 | 539 | 721 | 1,133 | 2,303 | 3,619 | 4,841 | 5,047 | 7,931 | 25,333 | 33,887 | 53,251 | 55,517 | 237,209 | 372,757 | 2,609,299 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -47 | -49 | -77 | -103 | -329 | -517 | -539 | -721 | -1,133 | -2,303 | -3,619 | -4,841 | -5,047 | -7,931 | -25,333 | -33,887 | -53,251 | -55,517 | -237,209 | -372,757 | -2,609,299 |
