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 1,485,575, 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 | 1,485,575 | |
| -1 | -1,485,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,485,575.
Example:
1 x 1,485,575 = 1,485,575
and
-1 x -1,485,575 = 1,485,575
Notice both answers equal 1,485,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,485,575 and divide it by 2:
1,485,575 ÷ 2 = 742,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 742,787.5 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 | 1,485,575 | |
| -1 | -1,485,575 |
Now, we try dividing 1,485,575 by 3:
1,485,575 ÷ 3 = 495,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 495,191.6667 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 | 1,485,575 | |
| -1 | -1,485,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,485,575 ÷ 4 = 371,393.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 371,393.75 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 | 1,485,575 | |
| -1 | 1,485,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 175 | 325 | 455 | 653 | 2,275 | 3,265 | 4,571 | 8,489 | 16,325 | 22,855 | 42,445 | 59,423 | 114,275 | 212,225 | 297,115 | 1,485,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -175 | -325 | -455 | -653 | -2,275 | -3,265 | -4,571 | -8,489 | -16,325 | -22,855 | -42,445 | -59,423 | -114,275 | -212,225 | -297,115 | -1,485,575 |
