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 1,545,577, 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 | 1,545,577 | |
| -1 | -1,545,577 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,545,577.
Example:
1 x 1,545,577 = 1,545,577
and
-1 x -1,545,577 = 1,545,577
Notice both answers equal 1,545,577
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,545,577 and divide it by 2:
1,545,577 ÷ 2 = 772,788.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 772,788.5 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 | 1,545,577 | |
| -1 | -1,545,577 |
Now, we try dividing 1,545,577 by 3:
1,545,577 ÷ 3 = 515,192.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 515,192.3333 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 | 1,545,577 | |
| -1 | -1,545,577 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,545,577 ÷ 4 = 386,394.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 386,394.25 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 | 1,545,577 | |
| -1 | 1,545,577 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 41 | 149 | 253 | 451 | 943 | 1,639 | 3,427 | 6,109 | 10,373 | 37,697 | 67,199 | 140,507 | 1,545,577 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -41 | -149 | -253 | -451 | -943 | -1,639 | -3,427 | -6,109 | -10,373 | -37,697 | -67,199 | -140,507 | -1,545,577 |
