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 1,588,225, 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 | 1,588,225 | |
| -1 | -1,588,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,588,225.
Example:
1 x 1,588,225 = 1,588,225
and
-1 x -1,588,225 = 1,588,225
Notice both answers equal 1,588,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,588,225 and divide it by 2:
1,588,225 ÷ 2 = 794,112.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 794,112.5 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 | 1,588,225 | |
| -1 | -1,588,225 |
Now, we try dividing 1,588,225 by 3:
1,588,225 ÷ 3 = 529,408.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 529,408.3333 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 | 1,588,225 | |
| -1 | -1,588,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,588,225 ÷ 4 = 397,056.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 397,056.25 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 | 1,588,225 | |
| -1 | 1,588,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 37 | 85 | 101 | 185 | 425 | 505 | 629 | 925 | 1,717 | 2,525 | 3,145 | 3,737 | 8,585 | 15,725 | 18,685 | 42,925 | 63,529 | 93,425 | 317,645 | 1,588,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -37 | -85 | -101 | -185 | -425 | -505 | -629 | -925 | -1,717 | -2,525 | -3,145 | -3,737 | -8,585 | -15,725 | -18,685 | -42,925 | -63,529 | -93,425 | -317,645 | -1,588,225 |
