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 1,415,635, 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 | 1,415,635 | |
| -1 | -1,415,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,415,635.
Example:
1 x 1,415,635 = 1,415,635
and
-1 x -1,415,635 = 1,415,635
Notice both answers equal 1,415,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,415,635 and divide it by 2:
1,415,635 ÷ 2 = 707,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 707,817.5 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 | 1,415,635 | |
| -1 | -1,415,635 |
Now, we try dividing 1,415,635 by 3:
1,415,635 ÷ 3 = 471,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 471,878.3333 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 | 1,415,635 | |
| -1 | -1,415,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,415,635 ÷ 4 = 353,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 353,908.75 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 | 1,415,635 | |
| -1 | 1,415,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 29 | 65 | 145 | 377 | 751 | 1,885 | 3,755 | 9,763 | 21,779 | 48,815 | 108,895 | 283,127 | 1,415,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -29 | -65 | -145 | -377 | -751 | -1,885 | -3,755 | -9,763 | -21,779 | -48,815 | -108,895 | -283,127 | -1,415,635 |
