How do I find the factor combinations of the number 1,424,808?

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 1,424,808, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 1,424,808
-1 -1,424,808

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,424,808.

Example:
1 x 1,424,808 = 1,424,808
and
-1 x -1,424,808 = 1,424,808
Notice both answers equal 1,424,808

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,424,808 and divide it by 2:

1,424,808 ÷ 2 = 712,404

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 712,404 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 712,404 1,424,808
-1 -2 -712,404 -1,424,808

Now, we try dividing 1,424,808 by 3:

1,424,808 ÷ 3 = 474,936

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 474,936 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 474,936 712,404 1,424,808
-1 -2 -3 -474,936 -712,404 -1,424,808

Let's try dividing by 4:

1,424,808 ÷ 4 = 356,202

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 356,202 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 356,202 474,936 712,404 1,424,808
-1 -2 -3 -4 -356,202 -474,936 -712,404 1,424,808
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
