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 1,166,555, 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 | 1,166,555 | |
| -1 | -1,166,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,166,555.
Example:
1 x 1,166,555 = 1,166,555
and
-1 x -1,166,555 = 1,166,555
Notice both answers equal 1,166,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,166,555 and divide it by 2:
1,166,555 ÷ 2 = 583,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 583,277.5 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 | 1,166,555 | |
| -1 | -1,166,555 |
Now, we try dividing 1,166,555 by 3:
1,166,555 ÷ 3 = 388,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 388,851.6667 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 | 1,166,555 | |
| -1 | -1,166,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,166,555 ÷ 4 = 291,638.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 291,638.75 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 | 1,166,555 | |
| -1 | 1,166,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 131 | 137 | 655 | 685 | 1,703 | 1,781 | 8,515 | 8,905 | 17,947 | 89,735 | 233,311 | 1,166,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -131 | -137 | -655 | -685 | -1,703 | -1,781 | -8,515 | -8,905 | -17,947 | -89,735 | -233,311 | -1,166,555 |
