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 2,854,075, 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 | 2,854,075 | |
| -1 | -2,854,075 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,854,075.
Example:
1 x 2,854,075 = 2,854,075
and
-1 x -2,854,075 = 2,854,075
Notice both answers equal 2,854,075
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,854,075 and divide it by 2:
2,854,075 ÷ 2 = 1,427,037.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,427,037.5 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 | 2,854,075 | |
| -1 | -2,854,075 |
Now, we try dividing 2,854,075 by 3:
2,854,075 ÷ 3 = 951,358.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 951,358.3333 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 | 2,854,075 | |
| -1 | -2,854,075 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,854,075 ÷ 4 = 713,518.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 713,518.75 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 | 2,854,075 | |
| -1 | 2,854,075 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 47 | 175 | 235 | 329 | 347 | 1,175 | 1,645 | 1,735 | 2,429 | 8,225 | 8,675 | 12,145 | 16,309 | 60,725 | 81,545 | 114,163 | 407,725 | 570,815 | 2,854,075 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -47 | -175 | -235 | -329 | -347 | -1,175 | -1,645 | -1,735 | -2,429 | -8,225 | -8,675 | -12,145 | -16,309 | -60,725 | -81,545 | -114,163 | -407,725 | -570,815 | -2,854,075 |
