How do I find the factor combinations of the number 1,375,759?

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 1,375,759, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 1,375,759
-1 -1,375,759

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,375,759.

Example:
1 x 1,375,759 = 1,375,759
and
-1 x -1,375,759 = 1,375,759
Notice both answers equal 1,375,759

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,375,759 and divide it by 2:

1,375,759 ÷ 2 = 687,879.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 687,879.5 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 1,375,759
-1 -1,375,759

Now, we try dividing 1,375,759 by 3:

1,375,759 ÷ 3 = 458,586.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 458,586.3333 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 1,375,759
-1 -1,375,759

Let's try dividing by 4:

1,375,759 ÷ 4 = 343,939.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 343,939.75 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 1,375,759
-1 1,375,759
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

171117771191871,0511,3097,35711,56117,86780,927125,069196,5371,375,759
