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 1,470,055, 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 | 1,470,055 | |
| -1 | -1,470,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,470,055.
Example:
1 x 1,470,055 = 1,470,055
and
-1 x -1,470,055 = 1,470,055
Notice both answers equal 1,470,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,470,055 and divide it by 2:
1,470,055 ÷ 2 = 735,027.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 735,027.5 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 | 1,470,055 | |
| -1 | -1,470,055 |
Now, we try dividing 1,470,055 by 3:
1,470,055 ÷ 3 = 490,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 490,018.3333 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 | 1,470,055 | |
| -1 | -1,470,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,470,055 ÷ 4 = 367,513.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 367,513.75 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 | 1,470,055 | |
| -1 | 1,470,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 71 | 101 | 205 | 355 | 505 | 2,911 | 4,141 | 7,171 | 14,555 | 20,705 | 35,855 | 294,011 | 1,470,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -71 | -101 | -205 | -355 | -505 | -2,911 | -4,141 | -7,171 | -14,555 | -20,705 | -35,855 | -294,011 | -1,470,055 |
