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 2,883,325, 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 | 2,883,325 | |
| -1 | -2,883,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,883,325.
Example:
1 x 2,883,325 = 2,883,325
and
-1 x -2,883,325 = 2,883,325
Notice both answers equal 2,883,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,883,325 and divide it by 2:
2,883,325 ÷ 2 = 1,441,662.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,441,662.5 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 | 2,883,325 | |
| -1 | -2,883,325 |
Now, we try dividing 2,883,325 by 3:
2,883,325 ÷ 3 = 961,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 961,108.3333 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 | 2,883,325 | |
| -1 | -2,883,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,883,325 ÷ 4 = 720,831.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 720,831.25 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 | 2,883,325 | |
| -1 | 2,883,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 41 | 97 | 145 | 205 | 485 | 725 | 1,025 | 1,189 | 2,425 | 2,813 | 3,977 | 5,945 | 14,065 | 19,885 | 29,725 | 70,325 | 99,425 | 115,333 | 576,665 | 2,883,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -41 | -97 | -145 | -205 | -485 | -725 | -1,025 | -1,189 | -2,425 | -2,813 | -3,977 | -5,945 | -14,065 | -19,885 | -29,725 | -70,325 | -99,425 | -115,333 | -576,665 | -2,883,325 |
