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 1,450,211, 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 | 1,450,211 | |
| -1 | -1,450,211 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,450,211.
Example:
1 x 1,450,211 = 1,450,211
and
-1 x -1,450,211 = 1,450,211
Notice both answers equal 1,450,211
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,450,211 and divide it by 2:
1,450,211 ÷ 2 = 725,105.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 725,105.5 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 | 1,450,211 | |
| -1 | -1,450,211 |
Now, we try dividing 1,450,211 by 3:
1,450,211 ÷ 3 = 483,403.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 483,403.6667 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 | 1,450,211 | |
| -1 | -1,450,211 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,450,211 ÷ 4 = 362,552.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 362,552.75 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 | 1,450,211 | |
| -1 | 1,450,211 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 41 | 163 | 217 | 287 | 1,141 | 1,271 | 5,053 | 6,683 | 8,897 | 35,371 | 46,781 | 207,173 | 1,450,211 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -41 | -163 | -217 | -287 | -1,141 | -1,271 | -5,053 | -6,683 | -8,897 | -35,371 | -46,781 | -207,173 | -1,450,211 |
