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 1,023,893, 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 | 1,023,893 | |
| -1 | -1,023,893 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,023,893.
Example:
1 x 1,023,893 = 1,023,893
and
-1 x -1,023,893 = 1,023,893
Notice both answers equal 1,023,893
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,023,893 and divide it by 2:
1,023,893 ÷ 2 = 511,946.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 511,946.5 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 | 1,023,893 | |
| -1 | -1,023,893 |
Now, we try dividing 1,023,893 by 3:
1,023,893 ÷ 3 = 341,297.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 341,297.6667 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 | 1,023,893 | |
| -1 | -1,023,893 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,023,893 ÷ 4 = 255,973.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 255,973.25 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 | 1,023,893 | |
| -1 | 1,023,893 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 41 | 113 | 221 | 533 | 697 | 1,469 | 1,921 | 4,633 | 9,061 | 24,973 | 60,229 | 78,761 | 1,023,893 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -41 | -113 | -221 | -533 | -697 | -1,469 | -1,921 | -4,633 | -9,061 | -24,973 | -60,229 | -78,761 | -1,023,893 |
