How do I find the factor combinations of the number 2,707,925?

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 2,707,925, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 2,707,925
-1 -2,707,925

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,707,925.

Example:
1 x 2,707,925 = 2,707,925
and
-1 x -2,707,925 = 2,707,925
Notice both answers equal 2,707,925

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,707,925 and divide it by 2:

2,707,925 ÷ 2 = 1,353,962.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,353,962.5 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 2,707,925
-1 -2,707,925

Now, we try dividing 2,707,925 by 3:

2,707,925 ÷ 3 = 902,641.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 902,641.6667 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 2,707,925
-1 -2,707,925

Let's try dividing by 4:

2,707,925 ÷ 4 = 676,981.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 676,981.25 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 2,707,925
-1 2,707,925
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

15112543552152292754731,0751,1452,3652,5195,7259,84711,82512,59549,23562,975108,317246,175541,5852,707,925
