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 1,139,285, 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 | 1,139,285 | |
| -1 | -1,139,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,139,285.
Example:
1 x 1,139,285 = 1,139,285
and
-1 x -1,139,285 = 1,139,285
Notice both answers equal 1,139,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,139,285 and divide it by 2:
1,139,285 ÷ 2 = 569,642.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 569,642.5 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 | 1,139,285 | |
| -1 | -1,139,285 |
Now, we try dividing 1,139,285 by 3:
1,139,285 ÷ 3 = 379,761.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 379,761.6667 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 | 1,139,285 | |
| -1 | -1,139,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,139,285 ÷ 4 = 284,821.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 284,821.25 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 | 1,139,285 | |
| -1 | 1,139,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 757 | 1,505 | 3,785 | 5,299 | 26,495 | 32,551 | 162,755 | 227,857 | 1,139,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -757 | -1,505 | -3,785 | -5,299 | -26,495 | -32,551 | -162,755 | -227,857 | -1,139,285 |
