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 1,241,345, 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 | 1,241,345 | |
| -1 | -1,241,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,241,345.
Example:
1 x 1,241,345 = 1,241,345
and
-1 x -1,241,345 = 1,241,345
Notice both answers equal 1,241,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,241,345 and divide it by 2:
1,241,345 ÷ 2 = 620,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 620,672.5 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 | 1,241,345 | |
| -1 | -1,241,345 |
Now, we try dividing 1,241,345 by 3:
1,241,345 ÷ 3 = 413,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 413,781.6667 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 | 1,241,345 | |
| -1 | -1,241,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,241,345 ÷ 4 = 310,336.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 310,336.25 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 | 1,241,345 | |
| -1 | 1,241,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 203 | 1,015 | 1,223 | 6,115 | 8,561 | 35,467 | 42,805 | 177,335 | 248,269 | 1,241,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -203 | -1,015 | -1,223 | -6,115 | -8,561 | -35,467 | -42,805 | -177,335 | -248,269 | -1,241,345 |
