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 1,566,733, 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 | 1,566,733 | |
| -1 | -1,566,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,566,733.
Example:
1 x 1,566,733 = 1,566,733
and
-1 x -1,566,733 = 1,566,733
Notice both answers equal 1,566,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,566,733 and divide it by 2:
1,566,733 ÷ 2 = 783,366.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 783,366.5 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 | 1,566,733 | |
| -1 | -1,566,733 |
Now, we try dividing 1,566,733 by 3:
1,566,733 ÷ 3 = 522,244.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 522,244.3333 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 | 1,566,733 | |
| -1 | -1,566,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,566,733 ÷ 4 = 391,683.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 391,683.25 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 | 1,566,733 | |
| -1 | 1,566,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 53 | 103 | 287 | 371 | 721 | 2,173 | 4,223 | 5,459 | 15,211 | 29,561 | 38,213 | 223,819 | 1,566,733 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -53 | -103 | -287 | -371 | -721 | -2,173 | -4,223 | -5,459 | -15,211 | -29,561 | -38,213 | -223,819 | -1,566,733 |
