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 1,408,015, 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 | 1,408,015 | |
| -1 | -1,408,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,408,015.
Example:
1 x 1,408,015 = 1,408,015
and
-1 x -1,408,015 = 1,408,015
Notice both answers equal 1,408,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,408,015 and divide it by 2:
1,408,015 ÷ 2 = 704,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 704,007.5 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 | 1,408,015 | |
| -1 | -1,408,015 |
Now, we try dividing 1,408,015 by 3:
1,408,015 ÷ 3 = 469,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 469,338.3333 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 | 1,408,015 | |
| -1 | -1,408,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,408,015 ÷ 4 = 352,003.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 352,003.75 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 | 1,408,015 | |
| -1 | 1,408,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 343 | 821 | 1,715 | 4,105 | 5,747 | 28,735 | 40,229 | 201,145 | 281,603 | 1,408,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -343 | -821 | -1,715 | -4,105 | -5,747 | -28,735 | -40,229 | -201,145 | -281,603 | -1,408,015 |
