How do I find the factor combinations of the number 1,084,433?

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 1,084,433, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 1,084,433
-1 -1,084,433

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,084,433.

Example:
1 x 1,084,433 = 1,084,433
and
-1 x -1,084,433 = 1,084,433
Notice both answers equal 1,084,433

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,084,433 and divide it by 2:

1,084,433 ÷ 2 = 542,216.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 542,216.5 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 1,084,433
-1 -1,084,433

Now, we try dividing 1,084,433 by 3:

1,084,433 ÷ 3 = 361,477.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 361,477.6667 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 1,084,433
-1 -1,084,433

Let's try dividing by 4:

1,084,433 ÷ 4 = 271,108.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 271,108.25 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 1,084,433
-1 1,084,433
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

173753792593715531,9612,9234,18713,72720,46129,309154,9191,084,433
