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 1,180,949, 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 | 1,180,949 | |
| -1 | -1,180,949 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,180,949.
Example:
1 x 1,180,949 = 1,180,949
and
-1 x -1,180,949 = 1,180,949
Notice both answers equal 1,180,949
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,180,949 and divide it by 2:
1,180,949 ÷ 2 = 590,474.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 590,474.5 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 | 1,180,949 | |
| -1 | -1,180,949 |
Now, we try dividing 1,180,949 by 3:
1,180,949 ÷ 3 = 393,649.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 393,649.6667 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 | 1,180,949 | |
| -1 | -1,180,949 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,180,949 ÷ 4 = 295,237.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 295,237.25 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 | 1,180,949 | |
| -1 | 1,180,949 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 313 | 343 | 539 | 2,191 | 3,443 | 3,773 | 15,337 | 24,101 | 107,359 | 168,707 | 1,180,949 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -313 | -343 | -539 | -2,191 | -3,443 | -3,773 | -15,337 | -24,101 | -107,359 | -168,707 | -1,180,949 |
