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 1,025,717, 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 | 1,025,717 | |
| -1 | -1,025,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,025,717.
Example:
1 x 1,025,717 = 1,025,717
and
-1 x -1,025,717 = 1,025,717
Notice both answers equal 1,025,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,025,717 and divide it by 2:
1,025,717 ÷ 2 = 512,858.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 512,858.5 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 | 1,025,717 | |
| -1 | -1,025,717 |
Now, we try dividing 1,025,717 by 3:
1,025,717 ÷ 3 = 341,905.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 341,905.6667 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 | 1,025,717 | |
| -1 | -1,025,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,025,717 ÷ 4 = 256,429.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 256,429.25 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 | 1,025,717 | |
| -1 | 1,025,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 121 | 173 | 539 | 847 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 5,929 | 8,477 | 13,321 | 20,933 | 93,247 | 146,531 | 1,025,717 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -121 | -173 | -539 | -847 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -5,929 | -8,477 | -13,321 | -20,933 | -93,247 | -146,531 | -1,025,717 |
