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 1,478,155, 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 | 1,478,155 | |
| -1 | -1,478,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,478,155.
Example:
1 x 1,478,155 = 1,478,155
and
-1 x -1,478,155 = 1,478,155
Notice both answers equal 1,478,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,478,155 and divide it by 2:
1,478,155 ÷ 2 = 739,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 739,077.5 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 | 1,478,155 | |
| -1 | -1,478,155 |
Now, we try dividing 1,478,155 by 3:
1,478,155 ÷ 3 = 492,718.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 492,718.3333 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 | 1,478,155 | |
| -1 | -1,478,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,478,155 ÷ 4 = 369,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 369,538.75 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 | 1,478,155 | |
| -1 | 1,478,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 157 | 269 | 785 | 1,099 | 1,345 | 1,883 | 5,495 | 9,415 | 42,233 | 211,165 | 295,631 | 1,478,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -157 | -269 | -785 | -1,099 | -1,345 | -1,883 | -5,495 | -9,415 | -42,233 | -211,165 | -295,631 | -1,478,155 |
