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 2,662,055, 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 | 2,662,055 | |
| -1 | -2,662,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,662,055.
Example:
1 x 2,662,055 = 2,662,055
and
-1 x -2,662,055 = 2,662,055
Notice both answers equal 2,662,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,662,055 and divide it by 2:
2,662,055 ÷ 2 = 1,331,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,331,027.5 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 | 2,662,055 | |
| -1 | -2,662,055 |
Now, we try dividing 2,662,055 by 3:
2,662,055 ÷ 3 = 887,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 887,351.6667 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 | 2,662,055 | |
| -1 | -2,662,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,662,055 ÷ 4 = 665,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 665,513.75 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 | 2,662,055 | |
| -1 | 2,662,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,595 | 1,669 | 8,345 | 18,359 | 48,401 | 91,795 | 242,005 | 532,411 | 2,662,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,595 | -1,669 | -8,345 | -18,359 | -48,401 | -91,795 | -242,005 | -532,411 | -2,662,055 |
