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 1,563,361, 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 | 1,563,361 | |
| -1 | -1,563,361 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,563,361.
Example:
1 x 1,563,361 = 1,563,361
and
-1 x -1,563,361 = 1,563,361
Notice both answers equal 1,563,361
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,563,361 and divide it by 2:
1,563,361 ÷ 2 = 781,680.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 781,680.5 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 | 1,563,361 | |
| -1 | -1,563,361 |
Now, we try dividing 1,563,361 by 3:
1,563,361 ÷ 3 = 521,120.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 521,120.3333 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 | 1,563,361 | |
| -1 | -1,563,361 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,563,361 ÷ 4 = 390,840.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 390,840.25 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 | 1,563,361 | |
| -1 | 1,563,361 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 37 | 47 | 899 | 1,073 | 1,147 | 1,363 | 1,457 | 1,739 | 33,263 | 42,253 | 50,431 | 53,909 | 1,563,361 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -37 | -47 | -899 | -1,073 | -1,147 | -1,363 | -1,457 | -1,739 | -33,263 | -42,253 | -50,431 | -53,909 | -1,563,361 |
