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 1,088,605, 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 | 1,088,605 | |
| -1 | -1,088,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,088,605.
Example:
1 x 1,088,605 = 1,088,605
and
-1 x -1,088,605 = 1,088,605
Notice both answers equal 1,088,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,088,605 and divide it by 2:
1,088,605 ÷ 2 = 544,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 544,302.5 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 | 1,088,605 | |
| -1 | -1,088,605 |
Now, we try dividing 1,088,605 by 3:
1,088,605 ÷ 3 = 362,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 362,868.3333 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 | 1,088,605 | |
| -1 | -1,088,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,088,605 ÷ 4 = 272,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 272,151.25 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 | 1,088,605 | |
| -1 | 1,088,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 1,637 | 8,185 | 11,459 | 31,103 | 57,295 | 155,515 | 217,721 | 1,088,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -1,637 | -8,185 | -11,459 | -31,103 | -57,295 | -155,515 | -217,721 | -1,088,605 |
