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 1,041,523, 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 | 1,041,523 | |
| -1 | -1,041,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,041,523.
Example:
1 x 1,041,523 = 1,041,523
and
-1 x -1,041,523 = 1,041,523
Notice both answers equal 1,041,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,041,523 and divide it by 2:
1,041,523 ÷ 2 = 520,761.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 520,761.5 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 | 1,041,523 | |
| -1 | -1,041,523 |
Now, we try dividing 1,041,523 by 3:
1,041,523 ÷ 3 = 347,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 347,174.3333 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 | 1,041,523 | |
| -1 | -1,041,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,041,523 ÷ 4 = 260,380.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 260,380.75 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 | 1,041,523 | |
| -1 | 1,041,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 133 | 191 | 287 | 779 | 1,337 | 3,629 | 5,453 | 7,831 | 25,403 | 54,817 | 148,789 | 1,041,523 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -133 | -191 | -287 | -779 | -1,337 | -3,629 | -5,453 | -7,831 | -25,403 | -54,817 | -148,789 | -1,041,523 |
