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 1,082,543, 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 | 1,082,543 | |
| -1 | -1,082,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,082,543.
Example:
1 x 1,082,543 = 1,082,543
and
-1 x -1,082,543 = 1,082,543
Notice both answers equal 1,082,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,082,543 and divide it by 2:
1,082,543 ÷ 2 = 541,271.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 541,271.5 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 | 1,082,543 | |
| -1 | -1,082,543 |
Now, we try dividing 1,082,543 by 3:
1,082,543 ÷ 3 = 360,847.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 360,847.6667 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 | 1,082,543 | |
| -1 | -1,082,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,082,543 ÷ 4 = 270,635.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 270,635.75 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 | 1,082,543 | |
| -1 | 1,082,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 827 | 1,309 | 5,789 | 9,097 | 14,059 | 63,679 | 98,413 | 154,649 | 1,082,543 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -827 | -1,309 | -5,789 | -9,097 | -14,059 | -63,679 | -98,413 | -154,649 | -1,082,543 |
