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 1,002,463, 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 | 1,002,463 | |
| -1 | -1,002,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,002,463.
Example:
1 x 1,002,463 = 1,002,463
and
-1 x -1,002,463 = 1,002,463
Notice both answers equal 1,002,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,002,463 and divide it by 2:
1,002,463 ÷ 2 = 501,231.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 501,231.5 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 | 1,002,463 | |
| -1 | -1,002,463 |
Now, we try dividing 1,002,463 by 3:
1,002,463 ÷ 3 = 334,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 334,154.3333 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 | 1,002,463 | |
| -1 | -1,002,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,002,463 ÷ 4 = 250,615.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 250,615.75 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 | 1,002,463 | |
| -1 | 1,002,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 47 | 77 | 277 | 329 | 517 | 1,939 | 3,047 | 3,619 | 13,019 | 21,329 | 91,133 | 143,209 | 1,002,463 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -47 | -77 | -277 | -329 | -517 | -1,939 | -3,047 | -3,619 | -13,019 | -21,329 | -91,133 | -143,209 | -1,002,463 |
