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 1,427,725, 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 | 1,427,725 | |
| -1 | -1,427,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,427,725.
Example:
1 x 1,427,725 = 1,427,725
and
-1 x -1,427,725 = 1,427,725
Notice both answers equal 1,427,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,427,725 and divide it by 2:
1,427,725 ÷ 2 = 713,862.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 713,862.5 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 | 1,427,725 | |
| -1 | -1,427,725 |
Now, we try dividing 1,427,725 by 3:
1,427,725 ÷ 3 = 475,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 475,908.3333 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 | 1,427,725 | |
| -1 | -1,427,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,427,725 ÷ 4 = 356,931.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 356,931.25 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 | 1,427,725 | |
| -1 | 1,427,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 25 | 65 | 115 | 191 | 299 | 325 | 575 | 955 | 1,495 | 2,483 | 4,393 | 4,775 | 7,475 | 12,415 | 21,965 | 57,109 | 62,075 | 109,825 | 285,545 | 1,427,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -25 | -65 | -115 | -191 | -299 | -325 | -575 | -955 | -1,495 | -2,483 | -4,393 | -4,775 | -7,475 | -12,415 | -21,965 | -57,109 | -62,075 | -109,825 | -285,545 | -1,427,725 |
