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 1,514,435, 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 | 1,514,435 | |
| -1 | -1,514,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,514,435.
Example:
1 x 1,514,435 = 1,514,435
and
-1 x -1,514,435 = 1,514,435
Notice both answers equal 1,514,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,514,435 and divide it by 2:
1,514,435 ÷ 2 = 757,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 757,217.5 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 | 1,514,435 | |
| -1 | -1,514,435 |
Now, we try dividing 1,514,435 by 3:
1,514,435 ÷ 3 = 504,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 504,811.6667 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 | 1,514,435 | |
| -1 | -1,514,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,514,435 ÷ 4 = 378,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 378,608.75 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 | 1,514,435 | |
| -1 | 1,514,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 1,013 | 1,495 | 5,065 | 13,169 | 23,299 | 65,845 | 116,495 | 302,887 | 1,514,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -1,013 | -1,495 | -5,065 | -13,169 | -23,299 | -65,845 | -116,495 | -302,887 | -1,514,435 |
