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 1,466,563, 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 | 1,466,563 | |
| -1 | -1,466,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,466,563.
Example:
1 x 1,466,563 = 1,466,563
and
-1 x -1,466,563 = 1,466,563
Notice both answers equal 1,466,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,466,563 and divide it by 2:
1,466,563 ÷ 2 = 733,281.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 733,281.5 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 | 1,466,563 | |
| -1 | -1,466,563 |
Now, we try dividing 1,466,563 by 3:
1,466,563 ÷ 3 = 488,854.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 488,854.3333 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 | 1,466,563 | |
| -1 | -1,466,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,466,563 ÷ 4 = 366,640.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 366,640.75 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 | 1,466,563 | |
| -1 | 1,466,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 59 | 67 | 371 | 413 | 469 | 3,127 | 3,551 | 3,953 | 21,889 | 24,857 | 27,671 | 209,509 | 1,466,563 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -59 | -67 | -371 | -413 | -469 | -3,127 | -3,551 | -3,953 | -21,889 | -24,857 | -27,671 | -209,509 | -1,466,563 |
