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 2,937,685, 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 | 2,937,685 | |
| -1 | -2,937,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,937,685.
Example:
1 x 2,937,685 = 2,937,685
and
-1 x -2,937,685 = 2,937,685
Notice both answers equal 2,937,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,937,685 and divide it by 2:
2,937,685 ÷ 2 = 1,468,842.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,468,842.5 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 | 2,937,685 | |
| -1 | -2,937,685 |
Now, we try dividing 2,937,685 by 3:
2,937,685 ÷ 3 = 979,228.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 979,228.3333 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 | 2,937,685 | |
| -1 | -2,937,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,937,685 ÷ 4 = 734,421.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 734,421.25 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 | 2,937,685 | |
| -1 | 2,937,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 107 | 289 | 323 | 535 | 1,445 | 1,615 | 1,819 | 2,033 | 5,491 | 9,095 | 10,165 | 27,455 | 30,923 | 34,561 | 154,615 | 172,805 | 587,537 | 2,937,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -107 | -289 | -323 | -535 | -1,445 | -1,615 | -1,819 | -2,033 | -5,491 | -9,095 | -10,165 | -27,455 | -30,923 | -34,561 | -154,615 | -172,805 | -587,537 | -2,937,685 |
