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 1,057,255, 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 | 1,057,255 | |
| -1 | -1,057,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,057,255.
Example:
1 x 1,057,255 = 1,057,255
and
-1 x -1,057,255 = 1,057,255
Notice both answers equal 1,057,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,057,255 and divide it by 2:
1,057,255 ÷ 2 = 528,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 528,627.5 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 | 1,057,255 | |
| -1 | -1,057,255 |
Now, we try dividing 1,057,255 by 3:
1,057,255 ÷ 3 = 352,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 352,418.3333 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 | 1,057,255 | |
| -1 | -1,057,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,057,255 ÷ 4 = 264,313.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 264,313.75 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 | 1,057,255 | |
| -1 | 1,057,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 359 | 589 | 1,795 | 2,945 | 6,821 | 11,129 | 34,105 | 55,645 | 211,451 | 1,057,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -359 | -589 | -1,795 | -2,945 | -6,821 | -11,129 | -34,105 | -55,645 | -211,451 | -1,057,255 |
