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 1,445,297, 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 | 1,445,297 | |
| -1 | -1,445,297 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,445,297.
Example:
1 x 1,445,297 = 1,445,297
and
-1 x -1,445,297 = 1,445,297
Notice both answers equal 1,445,297
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,445,297 and divide it by 2:
1,445,297 ÷ 2 = 722,648.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 722,648.5 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 | 1,445,297 | |
| -1 | -1,445,297 |
Now, we try dividing 1,445,297 by 3:
1,445,297 ÷ 3 = 481,765.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 481,765.6667 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 | 1,445,297 | |
| -1 | -1,445,297 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,445,297 ÷ 4 = 361,324.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 361,324.25 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 | 1,445,297 | |
| -1 | 1,445,297 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 47 | 161 | 191 | 329 | 1,081 | 1,337 | 4,393 | 7,567 | 8,977 | 30,751 | 62,839 | 206,471 | 1,445,297 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -47 | -161 | -191 | -329 | -1,081 | -1,337 | -4,393 | -7,567 | -8,977 | -30,751 | -62,839 | -206,471 | -1,445,297 |
