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 1,466,515, 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 | 1,466,515 | |
| -1 | -1,466,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,466,515.
Example:
1 x 1,466,515 = 1,466,515
and
-1 x -1,466,515 = 1,466,515
Notice both answers equal 1,466,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,466,515 and divide it by 2:
1,466,515 ÷ 2 = 733,257.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 733,257.5 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 | 1,466,515 | |
| -1 | -1,466,515 |
Now, we try dividing 1,466,515 by 3:
1,466,515 ÷ 3 = 488,838.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 488,838.3333 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 | 1,466,515 | |
| -1 | -1,466,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,466,515 ÷ 4 = 366,628.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 366,628.75 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 | 1,466,515 | |
| -1 | 1,466,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 43 | 95 | 215 | 359 | 817 | 1,795 | 4,085 | 6,821 | 15,437 | 34,105 | 77,185 | 293,303 | 1,466,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -43 | -95 | -215 | -359 | -817 | -1,795 | -4,085 | -6,821 | -15,437 | -34,105 | -77,185 | -293,303 | -1,466,515 |
