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 1,051,535, 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 | 1,051,535 | |
| -1 | -1,051,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,051,535.
Example:
1 x 1,051,535 = 1,051,535
and
-1 x -1,051,535 = 1,051,535
Notice both answers equal 1,051,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,051,535 and divide it by 2:
1,051,535 ÷ 2 = 525,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 525,767.5 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 | 1,051,535 | |
| -1 | -1,051,535 |
Now, we try dividing 1,051,535 by 3:
1,051,535 ÷ 3 = 350,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 350,511.6667 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 | 1,051,535 | |
| -1 | -1,051,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,051,535 ÷ 4 = 262,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 262,883.75 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 | 1,051,535 | |
| -1 | 1,051,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 89 | 139 | 445 | 695 | 1,513 | 2,363 | 7,565 | 11,815 | 12,371 | 61,855 | 210,307 | 1,051,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -89 | -139 | -445 | -695 | -1,513 | -2,363 | -7,565 | -11,815 | -12,371 | -61,855 | -210,307 | -1,051,535 |
