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 1,192,567, 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 | 1,192,567 | |
| -1 | -1,192,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,192,567.
Example:
1 x 1,192,567 = 1,192,567
and
-1 x -1,192,567 = 1,192,567
Notice both answers equal 1,192,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,192,567 and divide it by 2:
1,192,567 ÷ 2 = 596,283.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 596,283.5 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 | 1,192,567 | |
| -1 | -1,192,567 |
Now, we try dividing 1,192,567 by 3:
1,192,567 ÷ 3 = 397,522.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 397,522.3333 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 | 1,192,567 | |
| -1 | -1,192,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,192,567 ÷ 4 = 298,141.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 298,141.75 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 | 1,192,567 | |
| -1 | 1,192,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 41 | 59 | 493 | 697 | 1,003 | 1,189 | 1,711 | 2,419 | 20,213 | 29,087 | 41,123 | 70,151 | 1,192,567 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -41 | -59 | -493 | -697 | -1,003 | -1,189 | -1,711 | -2,419 | -20,213 | -29,087 | -41,123 | -70,151 | -1,192,567 |
