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 1,479,935, 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 | 1,479,935 | |
| -1 | -1,479,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,479,935.
Example:
1 x 1,479,935 = 1,479,935
and
-1 x -1,479,935 = 1,479,935
Notice both answers equal 1,479,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,479,935 and divide it by 2:
1,479,935 ÷ 2 = 739,967.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 739,967.5 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 | 1,479,935 | |
| -1 | -1,479,935 |
Now, we try dividing 1,479,935 by 3:
1,479,935 ÷ 3 = 493,311.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 493,311.6667 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 | 1,479,935 | |
| -1 | -1,479,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,479,935 ÷ 4 = 369,983.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 369,983.75 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 | 1,479,935 | |
| -1 | 1,479,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 391 | 757 | 1,955 | 3,785 | 12,869 | 17,411 | 64,345 | 87,055 | 295,987 | 1,479,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -391 | -757 | -1,955 | -3,785 | -12,869 | -17,411 | -64,345 | -87,055 | -295,987 | -1,479,935 |
