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 1,460,753, 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 | 1,460,753 | |
| -1 | -1,460,753 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,460,753.
Example:
1 x 1,460,753 = 1,460,753
and
-1 x -1,460,753 = 1,460,753
Notice both answers equal 1,460,753
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,460,753 and divide it by 2:
1,460,753 ÷ 2 = 730,376.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 730,376.5 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 | 1,460,753 | |
| -1 | -1,460,753 |
Now, we try dividing 1,460,753 by 3:
1,460,753 ÷ 3 = 486,917.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 486,917.6667 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 | 1,460,753 | |
| -1 | -1,460,753 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,460,753 ÷ 4 = 365,188.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 365,188.25 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 | 1,460,753 | |
| -1 | 1,460,753 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 43 | 161 | 211 | 301 | 989 | 1,477 | 4,853 | 6,923 | 9,073 | 33,971 | 63,511 | 208,679 | 1,460,753 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -43 | -161 | -211 | -301 | -989 | -1,477 | -4,853 | -6,923 | -9,073 | -33,971 | -63,511 | -208,679 | -1,460,753 |
