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 1,340,603, 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 | 1,340,603 | |
| -1 | -1,340,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,340,603.
Example:
1 x 1,340,603 = 1,340,603
and
-1 x -1,340,603 = 1,340,603
Notice both answers equal 1,340,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,340,603 and divide it by 2:
1,340,603 ÷ 2 = 670,301.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 670,301.5 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 | 1,340,603 | |
| -1 | -1,340,603 |
Now, we try dividing 1,340,603 by 3:
1,340,603 ÷ 3 = 446,867.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 446,867.6667 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 | 1,340,603 | |
| -1 | -1,340,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,340,603 ÷ 4 = 335,150.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 335,150.75 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 | 1,340,603 | |
| -1 | 1,340,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 67 | 107 | 187 | 737 | 1,139 | 1,177 | 1,819 | 7,169 | 12,529 | 20,009 | 78,859 | 121,873 | 1,340,603 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -67 | -107 | -187 | -737 | -1,139 | -1,177 | -1,819 | -7,169 | -12,529 | -20,009 | -78,859 | -121,873 | -1,340,603 |
