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 1,595,725, 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 | 1,595,725 | |
| -1 | -1,595,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,595,725.
Example:
1 x 1,595,725 = 1,595,725
and
-1 x -1,595,725 = 1,595,725
Notice both answers equal 1,595,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,595,725 and divide it by 2:
1,595,725 ÷ 2 = 797,862.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 797,862.5 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 | 1,595,725 | |
| -1 | -1,595,725 |
Now, we try dividing 1,595,725 by 3:
1,595,725 ÷ 3 = 531,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 531,908.3333 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 | 1,595,725 | |
| -1 | -1,595,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,595,725 ÷ 4 = 398,931.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 398,931.25 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 | 1,595,725 | |
| -1 | 1,595,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 31 | 71 | 145 | 155 | 355 | 725 | 775 | 899 | 1,775 | 2,059 | 2,201 | 4,495 | 10,295 | 11,005 | 22,475 | 51,475 | 55,025 | 63,829 | 319,145 | 1,595,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -31 | -71 | -145 | -155 | -355 | -725 | -775 | -899 | -1,775 | -2,059 | -2,201 | -4,495 | -10,295 | -11,005 | -22,475 | -51,475 | -55,025 | -63,829 | -319,145 | -1,595,725 |
