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 1,026,565, 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 | 1,026,565 | |
| -1 | -1,026,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,026,565.
Example:
1 x 1,026,565 = 1,026,565
and
-1 x -1,026,565 = 1,026,565
Notice both answers equal 1,026,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,026,565 and divide it by 2:
1,026,565 ÷ 2 = 513,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 513,282.5 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 | 1,026,565 | |
| -1 | -1,026,565 |
Now, we try dividing 1,026,565 by 3:
1,026,565 ÷ 3 = 342,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 342,188.3333 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 | 1,026,565 | |
| -1 | -1,026,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,026,565 ÷ 4 = 256,641.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 256,641.25 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 | 1,026,565 | |
| -1 | 1,026,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 37 | 155 | 179 | 185 | 895 | 1,147 | 5,549 | 5,735 | 6,623 | 27,745 | 33,115 | 205,313 | 1,026,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -37 | -155 | -179 | -185 | -895 | -1,147 | -5,549 | -5,735 | -6,623 | -27,745 | -33,115 | -205,313 | -1,026,565 |
