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 1,554,355, 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 | 1,554,355 | |
| -1 | -1,554,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,554,355.
Example:
1 x 1,554,355 = 1,554,355
and
-1 x -1,554,355 = 1,554,355
Notice both answers equal 1,554,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,554,355 and divide it by 2:
1,554,355 ÷ 2 = 777,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 777,177.5 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 | 1,554,355 | |
| -1 | -1,554,355 |
Now, we try dividing 1,554,355 by 3:
1,554,355 ÷ 3 = 518,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 518,118.3333 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 | 1,554,355 | |
| -1 | -1,554,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,554,355 ÷ 4 = 388,588.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 388,588.75 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 | 1,554,355 | |
| -1 | 1,554,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 59 | 295 | 479 | 649 | 2,395 | 3,245 | 5,269 | 26,345 | 28,261 | 141,305 | 310,871 | 1,554,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -59 | -295 | -479 | -649 | -2,395 | -3,245 | -5,269 | -26,345 | -28,261 | -141,305 | -310,871 | -1,554,355 |
