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 1,408,795, 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 | 1,408,795 | |
| -1 | -1,408,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,408,795.
Example:
1 x 1,408,795 = 1,408,795
and
-1 x -1,408,795 = 1,408,795
Notice both answers equal 1,408,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,408,795 and divide it by 2:
1,408,795 ÷ 2 = 704,397.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 704,397.5 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 | 1,408,795 | |
| -1 | -1,408,795 |
Now, we try dividing 1,408,795 by 3:
1,408,795 ÷ 3 = 469,598.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 469,598.3333 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 | 1,408,795 | |
| -1 | -1,408,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,408,795 ÷ 4 = 352,198.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 352,198.75 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 | 1,408,795 | |
| -1 | 1,408,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 61 | 149 | 155 | 305 | 745 | 1,891 | 4,619 | 9,089 | 9,455 | 23,095 | 45,445 | 281,759 | 1,408,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -61 | -149 | -155 | -305 | -745 | -1,891 | -4,619 | -9,089 | -9,455 | -23,095 | -45,445 | -281,759 | -1,408,795 |
