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 1,030,043, 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 | 1,030,043 | |
| -1 | -1,030,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,030,043.
Example:
1 x 1,030,043 = 1,030,043
and
-1 x -1,030,043 = 1,030,043
Notice both answers equal 1,030,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,030,043 and divide it by 2:
1,030,043 ÷ 2 = 515,021.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 515,021.5 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 | 1,030,043 | |
| -1 | -1,030,043 |
Now, we try dividing 1,030,043 by 3:
1,030,043 ÷ 3 = 343,347.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 343,347.6667 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 | 1,030,043 | |
| -1 | -1,030,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,030,043 ÷ 4 = 257,510.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 257,510.75 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 | 1,030,043 | |
| -1 | 1,030,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 41 | 97 | 259 | 287 | 679 | 1,517 | 3,589 | 3,977 | 10,619 | 25,123 | 27,839 | 147,149 | 1,030,043 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -41 | -97 | -259 | -287 | -679 | -1,517 | -3,589 | -3,977 | -10,619 | -25,123 | -27,839 | -147,149 | -1,030,043 |
