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 1,236,895, 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 | 1,236,895 | |
| -1 | -1,236,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,236,895.
Example:
1 x 1,236,895 = 1,236,895
and
-1 x -1,236,895 = 1,236,895
Notice both answers equal 1,236,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,236,895 and divide it by 2:
1,236,895 ÷ 2 = 618,447.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 618,447.5 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 | 1,236,895 | |
| -1 | -1,236,895 |
Now, we try dividing 1,236,895 by 3:
1,236,895 ÷ 3 = 412,298.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 412,298.3333 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 | 1,236,895 | |
| -1 | -1,236,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,236,895 ÷ 4 = 309,223.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 309,223.75 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 | 1,236,895 | |
| -1 | 1,236,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 473 | 523 | 2,365 | 2,615 | 5,753 | 22,489 | 28,765 | 112,445 | 247,379 | 1,236,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -473 | -523 | -2,365 | -2,615 | -5,753 | -22,489 | -28,765 | -112,445 | -247,379 | -1,236,895 |
