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 1,444,745, 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 | 1,444,745 | |
| -1 | -1,444,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,444,745.
Example:
1 x 1,444,745 = 1,444,745
and
-1 x -1,444,745 = 1,444,745
Notice both answers equal 1,444,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,444,745 and divide it by 2:
1,444,745 ÷ 2 = 722,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 722,372.5 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 | 1,444,745 | |
| -1 | -1,444,745 |
Now, we try dividing 1,444,745 by 3:
1,444,745 ÷ 3 = 481,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 481,581.6667 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 | 1,444,745 | |
| -1 | -1,444,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,444,745 ÷ 4 = 361,186.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 361,186.25 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 | 1,444,745 | |
| -1 | 1,444,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 391 | 739 | 1,955 | 3,695 | 12,563 | 16,997 | 62,815 | 84,985 | 288,949 | 1,444,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -391 | -739 | -1,955 | -3,695 | -12,563 | -16,997 | -62,815 | -84,985 | -288,949 | -1,444,745 |
