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 2,696,309, 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 | 2,696,309 | |
| -1 | -2,696,309 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,696,309.
Example:
1 x 2,696,309 = 2,696,309
and
-1 x -2,696,309 = 2,696,309
Notice both answers equal 2,696,309
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,696,309 and divide it by 2:
2,696,309 ÷ 2 = 1,348,154.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,348,154.5 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 | 2,696,309 | |
| -1 | -2,696,309 |
Now, we try dividing 2,696,309 by 3:
2,696,309 ÷ 3 = 898,769.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 898,769.6667 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 | 2,696,309 | |
| -1 | -2,696,309 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,696,309 ÷ 4 = 674,077.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 674,077.25 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 | 2,696,309 | |
| -1 | 2,696,309 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 19 | 77 | 97 | 133 | 209 | 361 | 679 | 1,067 | 1,463 | 1,843 | 2,527 | 3,971 | 7,469 | 12,901 | 20,273 | 27,797 | 35,017 | 141,911 | 245,119 | 385,187 | 2,696,309 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -19 | -77 | -97 | -133 | -209 | -361 | -679 | -1,067 | -1,463 | -1,843 | -2,527 | -3,971 | -7,469 | -12,901 | -20,273 | -27,797 | -35,017 | -141,911 | -245,119 | -385,187 | -2,696,309 |
