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 1,445,969, 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 | 1,445,969 | |
| -1 | -1,445,969 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,445,969.
Example:
1 x 1,445,969 = 1,445,969
and
-1 x -1,445,969 = 1,445,969
Notice both answers equal 1,445,969
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,445,969 and divide it by 2:
1,445,969 ÷ 2 = 722,984.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 722,984.5 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 | 1,445,969 | |
| -1 | -1,445,969 |
Now, we try dividing 1,445,969 by 3:
1,445,969 ÷ 3 = 481,989.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 481,989.6667 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 | 1,445,969 | |
| -1 | -1,445,969 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,445,969 ÷ 4 = 361,492.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 361,492.25 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 | 1,445,969 | |
| -1 | 1,445,969 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 29 | 119 | 203 | 419 | 493 | 2,933 | 3,451 | 7,123 | 12,151 | 49,861 | 85,057 | 206,567 | 1,445,969 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -29 | -119 | -203 | -419 | -493 | -2,933 | -3,451 | -7,123 | -12,151 | -49,861 | -85,057 | -206,567 | -1,445,969 |
