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 2,962,685, 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 | 2,962,685 | |
| -1 | -2,962,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 2,962,685.
Example:
1 x 2,962,685 = 2,962,685
and
-1 x -2,962,685 = 2,962,685
Notice both answers equal 2,962,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 2,962,685 and divide it by 2:
2,962,685 ÷ 2 = 1,481,342.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 1,481,342.5 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 | 2,962,685 | |
| -1 | -2,962,685 |
Now, we try dividing 2,962,685 by 3:
2,962,685 ÷ 3 = 987,561.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 987,561.6667 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 | 2,962,685 | |
| -1 | -2,962,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
2,962,685 ÷ 4 = 740,671.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 740,671.25 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 | 2,962,685 | |
| -1 | 2,962,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 59 | 83 | 121 | 295 | 415 | 605 | 649 | 913 | 3,245 | 4,565 | 4,897 | 7,139 | 10,043 | 24,485 | 35,695 | 50,215 | 53,867 | 269,335 | 592,537 | 2,962,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -59 | -83 | -121 | -295 | -415 | -605 | -649 | -913 | -3,245 | -4,565 | -4,897 | -7,139 | -10,043 | -24,485 | -35,695 | -50,215 | -53,867 | -269,335 | -592,537 | -2,962,685 |
