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 1,226,435, 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 | 1,226,435 | |
| -1 | -1,226,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,226,435.
Example:
1 x 1,226,435 = 1,226,435
and
-1 x -1,226,435 = 1,226,435
Notice both answers equal 1,226,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,226,435 and divide it by 2:
1,226,435 ÷ 2 = 613,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 613,217.5 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 | 1,226,435 | |
| -1 | -1,226,435 |
Now, we try dividing 1,226,435 by 3:
1,226,435 ÷ 3 = 408,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 408,811.6667 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 | 1,226,435 | |
| -1 | -1,226,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,226,435 ÷ 4 = 306,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 306,608.75 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 | 1,226,435 | |
| -1 | 1,226,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 67 | 335 | 469 | 523 | 2,345 | 2,615 | 3,661 | 18,305 | 35,041 | 175,205 | 245,287 | 1,226,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -67 | -335 | -469 | -523 | -2,345 | -2,615 | -3,661 | -18,305 | -35,041 | -175,205 | -245,287 | -1,226,435 |
