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 1,060,885, 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 | 1,060,885 | |
| -1 | -1,060,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,060,885.
Example:
1 x 1,060,885 = 1,060,885
and
-1 x -1,060,885 = 1,060,885
Notice both answers equal 1,060,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,060,885 and divide it by 2:
1,060,885 ÷ 2 = 530,442.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 530,442.5 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 | 1,060,885 | |
| -1 | -1,060,885 |
Now, we try dividing 1,060,885 by 3:
1,060,885 ÷ 3 = 353,628.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 353,628.3333 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 | 1,060,885 | |
| -1 | -1,060,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,060,885 ÷ 4 = 265,221.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 265,221.25 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 | 1,060,885 | |
| -1 | 1,060,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 1,783 | 8,915 | 12,481 | 30,311 | 62,405 | 151,555 | 212,177 | 1,060,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -1,783 | -8,915 | -12,481 | -30,311 | -62,405 | -151,555 | -212,177 | -1,060,885 |
