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 1,469,479, 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 | 1,469,479 | |
| -1 | -1,469,479 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,469,479.
Example:
1 x 1,469,479 = 1,469,479
and
-1 x -1,469,479 = 1,469,479
Notice both answers equal 1,469,479
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,469,479 and divide it by 2:
1,469,479 ÷ 2 = 734,739.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 734,739.5 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 | 1,469,479 | |
| -1 | -1,469,479 |
Now, we try dividing 1,469,479 by 3:
1,469,479 ÷ 3 = 489,826.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 489,826.3333 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 | 1,469,479 | |
| -1 | -1,469,479 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,469,479 ÷ 4 = 367,369.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 367,369.75 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 | 1,469,479 | |
| -1 | 1,469,479 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 79 | 89 | 209 | 869 | 979 | 1,501 | 1,691 | 7,031 | 16,511 | 18,601 | 77,341 | 133,589 | 1,469,479 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -79 | -89 | -209 | -869 | -979 | -1,501 | -1,691 | -7,031 | -16,511 | -18,601 | -77,341 | -133,589 | -1,469,479 |
