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 1,170,263, 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 | 1,170,263 | |
| -1 | -1,170,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,170,263.
Example:
1 x 1,170,263 = 1,170,263
and
-1 x -1,170,263 = 1,170,263
Notice both answers equal 1,170,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,170,263 and divide it by 2:
1,170,263 ÷ 2 = 585,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 585,131.5 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 | 1,170,263 | |
| -1 | -1,170,263 |
Now, we try dividing 1,170,263 by 3:
1,170,263 ÷ 3 = 390,087.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 390,087.6667 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 | 1,170,263 | |
| -1 | -1,170,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,170,263 ÷ 4 = 292,565.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 292,565.75 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 | 1,170,263 | |
| -1 | 1,170,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 41 | 73 | 391 | 697 | 943 | 1,241 | 1,679 | 2,993 | 16,031 | 28,543 | 50,881 | 68,839 | 1,170,263 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -41 | -73 | -391 | -697 | -943 | -1,241 | -1,679 | -2,993 | -16,031 | -28,543 | -50,881 | -68,839 | -1,170,263 |
