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 1,199,429, 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 | 1,199,429 | |
| -1 | -1,199,429 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,199,429.
Example:
1 x 1,199,429 = 1,199,429
and
-1 x -1,199,429 = 1,199,429
Notice both answers equal 1,199,429
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,199,429 and divide it by 2:
1,199,429 ÷ 2 = 599,714.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 599,714.5 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 | 1,199,429 | |
| -1 | -1,199,429 |
Now, we try dividing 1,199,429 by 3:
1,199,429 ÷ 3 = 399,809.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 399,809.6667 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 | 1,199,429 | |
| -1 | -1,199,429 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,199,429 ÷ 4 = 299,857.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 299,857.25 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 | 1,199,429 | |
| -1 | 1,199,429 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 37 | 77 | 259 | 407 | 421 | 2,849 | 2,947 | 4,631 | 15,577 | 32,417 | 109,039 | 171,347 | 1,199,429 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -37 | -77 | -259 | -407 | -421 | -2,849 | -2,947 | -4,631 | -15,577 | -32,417 | -109,039 | -171,347 | -1,199,429 |
