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 2,929,375, 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 | 2,929,375 | |
| -1 | -2,929,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,929,375.
Example:
1 x 2,929,375 = 2,929,375
and
-1 x -2,929,375 = 2,929,375
Notice both answers equal 2,929,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,929,375 and divide it by 2:
2,929,375 ÷ 2 = 1,464,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,464,687.5 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 | 2,929,375 | |
| -1 | -2,929,375 |
Now, we try dividing 2,929,375 by 3:
2,929,375 ÷ 3 = 976,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 976,458.3333 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 | 2,929,375 | |
| -1 | -2,929,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,929,375 ÷ 4 = 732,343.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 732,343.75 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 | 2,929,375 | |
| -1 | 2,929,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 43 | 109 | 125 | 215 | 545 | 625 | 1,075 | 2,725 | 4,687 | 5,375 | 13,625 | 23,435 | 26,875 | 68,125 | 117,175 | 585,875 | 2,929,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -43 | -109 | -125 | -215 | -545 | -625 | -1,075 | -2,725 | -4,687 | -5,375 | -13,625 | -23,435 | -26,875 | -68,125 | -117,175 | -585,875 | -2,929,375 |
