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 1,042,265, 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 | 1,042,265 | |
| -1 | -1,042,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,042,265.
Example:
1 x 1,042,265 = 1,042,265
and
-1 x -1,042,265 = 1,042,265
Notice both answers equal 1,042,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,042,265 and divide it by 2:
1,042,265 ÷ 2 = 521,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 521,132.5 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 | 1,042,265 | |
| -1 | -1,042,265 |
Now, we try dividing 1,042,265 by 3:
1,042,265 ÷ 3 = 347,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 347,421.6667 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 | 1,042,265 | |
| -1 | -1,042,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,042,265 ÷ 4 = 260,566.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 260,566.25 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 | 1,042,265 | |
| -1 | 1,042,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 97 | 307 | 485 | 679 | 1,535 | 2,149 | 3,395 | 10,745 | 29,779 | 148,895 | 208,453 | 1,042,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -97 | -307 | -485 | -679 | -1,535 | -2,149 | -3,395 | -10,745 | -29,779 | -148,895 | -208,453 | -1,042,265 |
