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 1,462,475, 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 | 1,462,475 | |
| -1 | -1,462,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,462,475.
Example:
1 x 1,462,475 = 1,462,475
and
-1 x -1,462,475 = 1,462,475
Notice both answers equal 1,462,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,462,475 and divide it by 2:
1,462,475 ÷ 2 = 731,237.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 731,237.5 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 | 1,462,475 | |
| -1 | -1,462,475 |
Now, we try dividing 1,462,475 by 3:
1,462,475 ÷ 3 = 487,491.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 487,491.6667 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 | 1,462,475 | |
| -1 | -1,462,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,462,475 ÷ 4 = 365,618.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 365,618.75 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 | 1,462,475 | |
| -1 | 1,462,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 61 | 137 | 175 | 305 | 427 | 685 | 959 | 1,525 | 2,135 | 3,425 | 4,795 | 8,357 | 10,675 | 23,975 | 41,785 | 58,499 | 208,925 | 292,495 | 1,462,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -61 | -137 | -175 | -305 | -427 | -685 | -959 | -1,525 | -2,135 | -3,425 | -4,795 | -8,357 | -10,675 | -23,975 | -41,785 | -58,499 | -208,925 | -292,495 | -1,462,475 |
