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 1,146,845, 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 | 1,146,845 | |
| -1 | -1,146,845 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,146,845.
Example:
1 x 1,146,845 = 1,146,845
and
-1 x -1,146,845 = 1,146,845
Notice both answers equal 1,146,845
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,146,845 and divide it by 2:
1,146,845 ÷ 2 = 573,422.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 573,422.5 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 | 1,146,845 | |
| -1 | -1,146,845 |
Now, we try dividing 1,146,845 by 3:
1,146,845 ÷ 3 = 382,281.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 382,281.6667 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 | 1,146,845 | |
| -1 | -1,146,845 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,146,845 ÷ 4 = 286,711.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 286,711.25 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 | 1,146,845 | |
| -1 | 1,146,845 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 49 | 151 | 155 | 217 | 245 | 755 | 1,057 | 1,085 | 1,519 | 4,681 | 5,285 | 7,399 | 7,595 | 23,405 | 32,767 | 36,995 | 163,835 | 229,369 | 1,146,845 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -49 | -151 | -155 | -217 | -245 | -755 | -1,057 | -1,085 | -1,519 | -4,681 | -5,285 | -7,399 | -7,595 | -23,405 | -32,767 | -36,995 | -163,835 | -229,369 | -1,146,845 |
