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 1,050,847, 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 | 1,050,847 | |
| -1 | -1,050,847 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,050,847.
Example:
1 x 1,050,847 = 1,050,847
and
-1 x -1,050,847 = 1,050,847
Notice both answers equal 1,050,847
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,050,847 and divide it by 2:
1,050,847 ÷ 2 = 525,423.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 525,423.5 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 | 1,050,847 | |
| -1 | -1,050,847 |
Now, we try dividing 1,050,847 by 3:
1,050,847 ÷ 3 = 350,282.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 350,282.3333 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 | 1,050,847 | |
| -1 | -1,050,847 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,050,847 ÷ 4 = 262,711.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 262,711.75 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 | 1,050,847 | |
| -1 | 1,050,847 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 61 | 107 | 161 | 427 | 749 | 1,403 | 2,461 | 6,527 | 9,821 | 17,227 | 45,689 | 150,121 | 1,050,847 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -61 | -107 | -161 | -427 | -749 | -1,403 | -2,461 | -6,527 | -9,821 | -17,227 | -45,689 | -150,121 | -1,050,847 |
