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 1,460,525, 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 | 1,460,525 | |
| -1 | -1,460,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,460,525.
Example:
1 x 1,460,525 = 1,460,525
and
-1 x -1,460,525 = 1,460,525
Notice both answers equal 1,460,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,460,525 and divide it by 2:
1,460,525 ÷ 2 = 730,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 730,262.5 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 | 1,460,525 | |
| -1 | -1,460,525 |
Now, we try dividing 1,460,525 by 3:
1,460,525 ÷ 3 = 486,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 486,841.6667 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 | 1,460,525 | |
| -1 | -1,460,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,460,525 ÷ 4 = 365,131.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 365,131.25 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 | 1,460,525 | |
| -1 | 1,460,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 47 | 55 | 113 | 235 | 275 | 517 | 565 | 1,175 | 1,243 | 2,585 | 2,825 | 5,311 | 6,215 | 12,925 | 26,555 | 31,075 | 58,421 | 132,775 | 292,105 | 1,460,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -47 | -55 | -113 | -235 | -275 | -517 | -565 | -1,175 | -1,243 | -2,585 | -2,825 | -5,311 | -6,215 | -12,925 | -26,555 | -31,075 | -58,421 | -132,775 | -292,105 | -1,460,525 |
