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 1,454,435, 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 | 1,454,435 | |
| -1 | -1,454,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,454,435.
Example:
1 x 1,454,435 = 1,454,435
and
-1 x -1,454,435 = 1,454,435
Notice both answers equal 1,454,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,454,435 and divide it by 2:
1,454,435 ÷ 2 = 727,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 727,217.5 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 | 1,454,435 | |
| -1 | -1,454,435 |
Now, we try dividing 1,454,435 by 3:
1,454,435 ÷ 3 = 484,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 484,811.6667 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 | 1,454,435 | |
| -1 | -1,454,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,454,435 ÷ 4 = 363,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 363,608.75 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 | 1,454,435 | |
| -1 | 1,454,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 71 | 85 | 241 | 355 | 1,205 | 1,207 | 4,097 | 6,035 | 17,111 | 20,485 | 85,555 | 290,887 | 1,454,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -71 | -85 | -241 | -355 | -1,205 | -1,207 | -4,097 | -6,035 | -17,111 | -20,485 | -85,555 | -290,887 | -1,454,435 |
