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 1,454,999, 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 | 1,454,999 | |
| -1 | -1,454,999 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,454,999.
Example:
1 x 1,454,999 = 1,454,999
and
-1 x -1,454,999 = 1,454,999
Notice both answers equal 1,454,999
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,454,999 and divide it by 2:
1,454,999 ÷ 2 = 727,499.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 727,499.5 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 | 1,454,999 | |
| -1 | -1,454,999 |
Now, we try dividing 1,454,999 by 3:
1,454,999 ÷ 3 = 484,999.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 484,999.6667 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 | 1,454,999 | |
| -1 | -1,454,999 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,454,999 ÷ 4 = 363,749.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 363,749.75 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 | 1,454,999 | |
| -1 | 1,454,999 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 59 | 91 | 271 | 413 | 767 | 1,897 | 3,523 | 5,369 | 15,989 | 24,661 | 111,923 | 207,857 | 1,454,999 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -59 | -91 | -271 | -413 | -767 | -1,897 | -3,523 | -5,369 | -15,989 | -24,661 | -111,923 | -207,857 | -1,454,999 |
