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 1,440,973, 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 | 1,440,973 | |
| -1 | -1,440,973 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,440,973.
Example:
1 x 1,440,973 = 1,440,973
and
-1 x -1,440,973 = 1,440,973
Notice both answers equal 1,440,973
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,440,973 and divide it by 2:
1,440,973 ÷ 2 = 720,486.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 720,486.5 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 | 1,440,973 | |
| -1 | -1,440,973 |
Now, we try dividing 1,440,973 by 3:
1,440,973 ÷ 3 = 480,324.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 480,324.3333 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 | 1,440,973 | |
| -1 | -1,440,973 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,440,973 ÷ 4 = 360,243.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 360,243.25 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 | 1,440,973 | |
| -1 | 1,440,973 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 31 | 43 | 47 | 713 | 989 | 1,081 | 1,333 | 1,457 | 2,021 | 30,659 | 33,511 | 46,483 | 62,651 | 1,440,973 |
| -1 | -23 | -31 | -43 | -47 | -713 | -989 | -1,081 | -1,333 | -1,457 | -2,021 | -30,659 | -33,511 | -46,483 | -62,651 | -1,440,973 |
