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 1,514,335, 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 | 1,514,335 | |
| -1 | -1,514,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,514,335.
Example:
1 x 1,514,335 = 1,514,335
and
-1 x -1,514,335 = 1,514,335
Notice both answers equal 1,514,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,514,335 and divide it by 2:
1,514,335 ÷ 2 = 757,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 757,167.5 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 | 1,514,335 | |
| -1 | -1,514,335 |
Now, we try dividing 1,514,335 by 3:
1,514,335 ÷ 3 = 504,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 504,778.3333 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 | 1,514,335 | |
| -1 | -1,514,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,514,335 ÷ 4 = 378,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 378,583.75 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 | 1,514,335 | |
| -1 | 1,514,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 83 | 89 | 205 | 415 | 445 | 3,403 | 3,649 | 7,387 | 17,015 | 18,245 | 36,935 | 302,867 | 1,514,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -83 | -89 | -205 | -415 | -445 | -3,403 | -3,649 | -7,387 | -17,015 | -18,245 | -36,935 | -302,867 | -1,514,335 |
