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 1,476,995, 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 | 1,476,995 | |
| -1 | -1,476,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,476,995.
Example:
1 x 1,476,995 = 1,476,995
and
-1 x -1,476,995 = 1,476,995
Notice both answers equal 1,476,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,476,995 and divide it by 2:
1,476,995 ÷ 2 = 738,497.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 738,497.5 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 | 1,476,995 | |
| -1 | -1,476,995 |
Now, we try dividing 1,476,995 by 3:
1,476,995 ÷ 3 = 492,331.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 492,331.6667 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 | 1,476,995 | |
| -1 | -1,476,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,476,995 ÷ 4 = 369,248.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 369,248.75 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 | 1,476,995 | |
| -1 | 1,476,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 733 | 2,015 | 3,665 | 9,529 | 22,723 | 47,645 | 113,615 | 295,399 | 1,476,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -733 | -2,015 | -3,665 | -9,529 | -22,723 | -47,645 | -113,615 | -295,399 | -1,476,995 |
