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 1,036,609, 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 | 1,036,609 | |
| -1 | -1,036,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,036,609.
Example:
1 x 1,036,609 = 1,036,609
and
-1 x -1,036,609 = 1,036,609
Notice both answers equal 1,036,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,036,609 and divide it by 2:
1,036,609 ÷ 2 = 518,304.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 518,304.5 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 | 1,036,609 | |
| -1 | -1,036,609 |
Now, we try dividing 1,036,609 by 3:
1,036,609 ÷ 3 = 345,536.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 345,536.3333 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 | 1,036,609 | |
| -1 | -1,036,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,036,609 ÷ 4 = 259,152.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 259,152.25 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 | 1,036,609 | |
| -1 | 1,036,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 31 | 119 | 217 | 281 | 527 | 1,967 | 3,689 | 4,777 | 8,711 | 33,439 | 60,977 | 148,087 | 1,036,609 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -31 | -119 | -217 | -281 | -527 | -1,967 | -3,689 | -4,777 | -8,711 | -33,439 | -60,977 | -148,087 | -1,036,609 |
