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 1,416,925, 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 | 1,416,925 | |
| -1 | -1,416,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,416,925.
Example:
1 x 1,416,925 = 1,416,925
and
-1 x -1,416,925 = 1,416,925
Notice both answers equal 1,416,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,416,925 and divide it by 2:
1,416,925 ÷ 2 = 708,462.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 708,462.5 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 | 1,416,925 | |
| -1 | -1,416,925 |
Now, we try dividing 1,416,925 by 3:
1,416,925 ÷ 3 = 472,308.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 472,308.3333 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 | 1,416,925 | |
| -1 | -1,416,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,416,925 ÷ 4 = 354,231.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 354,231.25 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 | 1,416,925 | |
| -1 | 1,416,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 157 | 361 | 475 | 785 | 1,805 | 2,983 | 3,925 | 9,025 | 14,915 | 56,677 | 74,575 | 283,385 | 1,416,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -157 | -361 | -475 | -785 | -1,805 | -2,983 | -3,925 | -9,025 | -14,915 | -56,677 | -74,575 | -283,385 | -1,416,925 |
