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 1,258,895, 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 | 1,258,895 | |
| -1 | -1,258,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,258,895.
Example:
1 x 1,258,895 = 1,258,895
and
-1 x -1,258,895 = 1,258,895
Notice both answers equal 1,258,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,258,895 and divide it by 2:
1,258,895 ÷ 2 = 629,447.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 629,447.5 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 | 1,258,895 | |
| -1 | -1,258,895 |
Now, we try dividing 1,258,895 by 3:
1,258,895 ÷ 3 = 419,631.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 419,631.6667 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 | 1,258,895 | |
| -1 | -1,258,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,258,895 ÷ 4 = 314,723.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 314,723.75 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 | 1,258,895 | |
| -1 | 1,258,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 47 | 55 | 235 | 487 | 517 | 2,435 | 2,585 | 5,357 | 22,889 | 26,785 | 114,445 | 251,779 | 1,258,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -47 | -55 | -235 | -487 | -517 | -2,435 | -2,585 | -5,357 | -22,889 | -26,785 | -114,445 | -251,779 | -1,258,895 |
