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 1,060,423, 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 | 1,060,423 | |
| -1 | -1,060,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,060,423.
Example:
1 x 1,060,423 = 1,060,423
and
-1 x -1,060,423 = 1,060,423
Notice both answers equal 1,060,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,060,423 and divide it by 2:
1,060,423 ÷ 2 = 530,211.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 530,211.5 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 | 1,060,423 | |
| -1 | -1,060,423 |
Now, we try dividing 1,060,423 by 3:
1,060,423 ÷ 3 = 353,474.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 353,474.3333 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 | 1,060,423 | |
| -1 | -1,060,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,060,423 ÷ 4 = 265,105.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 265,105.75 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 | 1,060,423 | |
| -1 | 1,060,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 43 | 91 | 271 | 301 | 559 | 1,897 | 3,523 | 3,913 | 11,653 | 24,661 | 81,571 | 151,489 | 1,060,423 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -43 | -91 | -271 | -301 | -559 | -1,897 | -3,523 | -3,913 | -11,653 | -24,661 | -81,571 | -151,489 | -1,060,423 |
