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 1,560,083, 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 | 1,560,083 | |
| -1 | -1,560,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,560,083.
Example:
1 x 1,560,083 = 1,560,083
and
-1 x -1,560,083 = 1,560,083
Notice both answers equal 1,560,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,560,083 and divide it by 2:
1,560,083 ÷ 2 = 780,041.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 780,041.5 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 | 1,560,083 | |
| -1 | -1,560,083 |
Now, we try dividing 1,560,083 by 3:
1,560,083 ÷ 3 = 520,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 520,027.6667 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 | 1,560,083 | |
| -1 | -1,560,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,560,083 ÷ 4 = 390,020.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 390,020.75 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 | 1,560,083 | |
| -1 | 1,560,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 71 | 73 | 301 | 497 | 511 | 3,053 | 3,139 | 5,183 | 21,371 | 21,973 | 36,281 | 222,869 | 1,560,083 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -71 | -73 | -301 | -497 | -511 | -3,053 | -3,139 | -5,183 | -21,371 | -21,973 | -36,281 | -222,869 | -1,560,083 |
