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 1,026,571, 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 | 1,026,571 | |
| -1 | -1,026,571 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,026,571.
Example:
1 x 1,026,571 = 1,026,571
and
-1 x -1,026,571 = 1,026,571
Notice both answers equal 1,026,571
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,026,571 and divide it by 2:
1,026,571 ÷ 2 = 513,285.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 513,285.5 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 | 1,026,571 | |
| -1 | -1,026,571 |
Now, we try dividing 1,026,571 by 3:
1,026,571 ÷ 3 = 342,190.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 342,190.3333 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 | 1,026,571 | |
| -1 | -1,026,571 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,026,571 ÷ 4 = 256,642.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 256,642.75 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 | 1,026,571 | |
| -1 | 1,026,571 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 29 | 91 | 203 | 377 | 389 | 2,639 | 2,723 | 5,057 | 11,281 | 35,399 | 78,967 | 146,653 | 1,026,571 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -29 | -91 | -203 | -377 | -389 | -2,639 | -2,723 | -5,057 | -11,281 | -35,399 | -78,967 | -146,653 | -1,026,571 |
