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 1,467,185, 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 | 1,467,185 | |
| -1 | -1,467,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,467,185.
Example:
1 x 1,467,185 = 1,467,185
and
-1 x -1,467,185 = 1,467,185
Notice both answers equal 1,467,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,467,185 and divide it by 2:
1,467,185 ÷ 2 = 733,592.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 733,592.5 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 | 1,467,185 | |
| -1 | -1,467,185 |
Now, we try dividing 1,467,185 by 3:
1,467,185 ÷ 3 = 489,061.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 489,061.6667 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 | 1,467,185 | |
| -1 | -1,467,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,467,185 ÷ 4 = 366,796.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 366,796.25 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 | 1,467,185 | |
| -1 | 1,467,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 41 | 85 | 205 | 421 | 697 | 2,105 | 3,485 | 7,157 | 17,261 | 35,785 | 86,305 | 293,437 | 1,467,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -41 | -85 | -205 | -421 | -697 | -2,105 | -3,485 | -7,157 | -17,261 | -35,785 | -86,305 | -293,437 | -1,467,185 |
