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 1,024,709, 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 | 1,024,709 | |
| -1 | -1,024,709 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,024,709.
Example:
1 x 1,024,709 = 1,024,709
and
-1 x -1,024,709 = 1,024,709
Notice both answers equal 1,024,709
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,024,709 and divide it by 2:
1,024,709 ÷ 2 = 512,354.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 512,354.5 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 | 1,024,709 | |
| -1 | -1,024,709 |
Now, we try dividing 1,024,709 by 3:
1,024,709 ÷ 3 = 341,569.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 341,569.6667 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 | 1,024,709 | |
| -1 | -1,024,709 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,024,709 ÷ 4 = 256,177.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 256,177.25 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 | 1,024,709 | |
| -1 | 1,024,709 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 79 | 109 | 119 | 553 | 763 | 1,343 | 1,853 | 8,611 | 9,401 | 12,971 | 60,277 | 146,387 | 1,024,709 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -79 | -109 | -119 | -553 | -763 | -1,343 | -1,853 | -8,611 | -9,401 | -12,971 | -60,277 | -146,387 | -1,024,709 |
