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 1,458,725, 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 | 1,458,725 | |
| -1 | -1,458,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,458,725.
Example:
1 x 1,458,725 = 1,458,725
and
-1 x -1,458,725 = 1,458,725
Notice both answers equal 1,458,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,458,725 and divide it by 2:
1,458,725 ÷ 2 = 729,362.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 729,362.5 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 | 1,458,725 | |
| -1 | -1,458,725 |
Now, we try dividing 1,458,725 by 3:
1,458,725 ÷ 3 = 486,241.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 486,241.6667 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 | 1,458,725 | |
| -1 | -1,458,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,458,725 ÷ 4 = 364,681.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 364,681.25 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 | 1,458,725 | |
| -1 | 1,458,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 37 | 83 | 95 | 185 | 415 | 475 | 703 | 925 | 1,577 | 2,075 | 3,071 | 3,515 | 7,885 | 15,355 | 17,575 | 39,425 | 58,349 | 76,775 | 291,745 | 1,458,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -37 | -83 | -95 | -185 | -415 | -475 | -703 | -925 | -1,577 | -2,075 | -3,071 | -3,515 | -7,885 | -15,355 | -17,575 | -39,425 | -58,349 | -76,775 | -291,745 | -1,458,725 |
