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 1,083,397, 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 | 1,083,397 | |
| -1 | -1,083,397 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,083,397.
Example:
1 x 1,083,397 = 1,083,397
and
-1 x -1,083,397 = 1,083,397
Notice both answers equal 1,083,397
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,083,397 and divide it by 2:
1,083,397 ÷ 2 = 541,698.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 541,698.5 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 | 1,083,397 | |
| -1 | -1,083,397 |
Now, we try dividing 1,083,397 by 3:
1,083,397 ÷ 3 = 361,132.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 361,132.3333 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 | 1,083,397 | |
| -1 | -1,083,397 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,083,397 ÷ 4 = 270,849.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 270,849.25 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 | 1,083,397 | |
| -1 | 1,083,397 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 47 | 89 | 259 | 329 | 623 | 1,739 | 3,293 | 4,183 | 12,173 | 23,051 | 29,281 | 154,771 | 1,083,397 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -47 | -89 | -259 | -329 | -623 | -1,739 | -3,293 | -4,183 | -12,173 | -23,051 | -29,281 | -154,771 | -1,083,397 |
