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 1,037,185, 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 | 1,037,185 | |
| -1 | -1,037,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,037,185.
Example:
1 x 1,037,185 = 1,037,185
and
-1 x -1,037,185 = 1,037,185
Notice both answers equal 1,037,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,037,185 and divide it by 2:
1,037,185 ÷ 2 = 518,592.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 518,592.5 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 | 1,037,185 | |
| -1 | -1,037,185 |
Now, we try dividing 1,037,185 by 3:
1,037,185 ÷ 3 = 345,728.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 345,728.3333 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 | 1,037,185 | |
| -1 | -1,037,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,037,185 ÷ 4 = 259,296.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 259,296.25 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 | 1,037,185 | |
| -1 | 1,037,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 29 | 115 | 145 | 311 | 667 | 1,555 | 3,335 | 7,153 | 9,019 | 35,765 | 45,095 | 207,437 | 1,037,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -29 | -115 | -145 | -311 | -667 | -1,555 | -3,335 | -7,153 | -9,019 | -35,765 | -45,095 | -207,437 | -1,037,185 |
