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 1,526,413, 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 | 1,526,413 | |
| -1 | -1,526,413 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,526,413.
Example:
1 x 1,526,413 = 1,526,413
and
-1 x -1,526,413 = 1,526,413
Notice both answers equal 1,526,413
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,526,413 and divide it by 2:
1,526,413 ÷ 2 = 763,206.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 763,206.5 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 | 1,526,413 | |
| -1 | -1,526,413 |
Now, we try dividing 1,526,413 by 3:
1,526,413 ÷ 3 = 508,804.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 508,804.3333 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 | 1,526,413 | |
| -1 | -1,526,413 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,526,413 ÷ 4 = 381,603.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 381,603.25 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 | 1,526,413 | |
| -1 | 1,526,413 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 101 | 119 | 127 | 707 | 889 | 1,717 | 2,159 | 12,019 | 12,827 | 15,113 | 89,789 | 218,059 | 1,526,413 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -101 | -119 | -127 | -707 | -889 | -1,717 | -2,159 | -12,019 | -12,827 | -15,113 | -89,789 | -218,059 | -1,526,413 |
