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 1,417,535, 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 | 1,417,535 | |
| -1 | -1,417,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,417,535.
Example:
1 x 1,417,535 = 1,417,535
and
-1 x -1,417,535 = 1,417,535
Notice both answers equal 1,417,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,417,535 and divide it by 2:
1,417,535 ÷ 2 = 708,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 708,767.5 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 | 1,417,535 | |
| -1 | -1,417,535 |
Now, we try dividing 1,417,535 by 3:
1,417,535 ÷ 3 = 472,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 472,511.6667 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 | 1,417,535 | |
| -1 | -1,417,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,417,535 ÷ 4 = 354,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 354,383.75 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 | 1,417,535 | |
| -1 | 1,417,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 101 | 401 | 505 | 707 | 2,005 | 2,807 | 3,535 | 14,035 | 40,501 | 202,505 | 283,507 | 1,417,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -101 | -401 | -505 | -707 | -2,005 | -2,807 | -3,535 | -14,035 | -40,501 | -202,505 | -283,507 | -1,417,535 |
