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 1,022,465, 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 | 1,022,465 | |
| -1 | -1,022,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,022,465.
Example:
1 x 1,022,465 = 1,022,465
and
-1 x -1,022,465 = 1,022,465
Notice both answers equal 1,022,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,022,465 and divide it by 2:
1,022,465 ÷ 2 = 511,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 511,232.5 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 | 1,022,465 | |
| -1 | -1,022,465 |
Now, we try dividing 1,022,465 by 3:
1,022,465 ÷ 3 = 340,821.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 340,821.6667 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 | 1,022,465 | |
| -1 | -1,022,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,022,465 ÷ 4 = 255,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 255,616.25 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 | 1,022,465 | |
| -1 | 1,022,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 391 | 523 | 1,955 | 2,615 | 8,891 | 12,029 | 44,455 | 60,145 | 204,493 | 1,022,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -391 | -523 | -1,955 | -2,615 | -8,891 | -12,029 | -44,455 | -60,145 | -204,493 | -1,022,465 |
