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 1,552,265, 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 | 1,552,265 | |
| -1 | -1,552,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,552,265.
Example:
1 x 1,552,265 = 1,552,265
and
-1 x -1,552,265 = 1,552,265
Notice both answers equal 1,552,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,552,265 and divide it by 2:
1,552,265 ÷ 2 = 776,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 776,132.5 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 | 1,552,265 | |
| -1 | -1,552,265 |
Now, we try dividing 1,552,265 by 3:
1,552,265 ÷ 3 = 517,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 517,421.6667 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 | 1,552,265 | |
| -1 | -1,552,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,552,265 ÷ 4 = 388,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 388,066.25 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 | 1,552,265 | |
| -1 | 1,552,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 167 | 169 | 715 | 835 | 845 | 1,837 | 1,859 | 2,171 | 9,185 | 9,295 | 10,855 | 23,881 | 28,223 | 119,405 | 141,115 | 310,453 | 1,552,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -167 | -169 | -715 | -835 | -845 | -1,837 | -1,859 | -2,171 | -9,185 | -9,295 | -10,855 | -23,881 | -28,223 | -119,405 | -141,115 | -310,453 | -1,552,265 |
