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 1,462,363, 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 | 1,462,363 | |
| -1 | -1,462,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,462,363.
Example:
1 x 1,462,363 = 1,462,363
and
-1 x -1,462,363 = 1,462,363
Notice both answers equal 1,462,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,462,363 and divide it by 2:
1,462,363 ÷ 2 = 731,181.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 731,181.5 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 | 1,462,363 | |
| -1 | -1,462,363 |
Now, we try dividing 1,462,363 by 3:
1,462,363 ÷ 3 = 487,454.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 487,454.3333 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 | 1,462,363 | |
| -1 | -1,462,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,462,363 ÷ 4 = 365,590.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 365,590.75 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 | 1,462,363 | |
| -1 | 1,462,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 293 | 713 | 2,051 | 4,991 | 6,739 | 9,083 | 47,173 | 63,581 | 208,909 | 1,462,363 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -293 | -713 | -2,051 | -4,991 | -6,739 | -9,083 | -47,173 | -63,581 | -208,909 | -1,462,363 |
