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 1,598,527, 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 | 1,598,527 | |
| -1 | -1,598,527 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,598,527.
Example:
1 x 1,598,527 = 1,598,527
and
-1 x -1,598,527 = 1,598,527
Notice both answers equal 1,598,527
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,598,527 and divide it by 2:
1,598,527 ÷ 2 = 799,263.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 799,263.5 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 | 1,598,527 | |
| -1 | -1,598,527 |
Now, we try dividing 1,598,527 by 3:
1,598,527 ÷ 3 = 532,842.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 532,842.3333 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 | 1,598,527 | |
| -1 | -1,598,527 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,598,527 ÷ 4 = 399,631.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 399,631.75 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 | 1,598,527 | |
| -1 | 1,598,527 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 49 | 101 | 119 | 133 | 323 | 707 | 833 | 931 | 1,717 | 1,919 | 2,261 | 4,949 | 12,019 | 13,433 | 15,827 | 32,623 | 84,133 | 94,031 | 228,361 | 1,598,527 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -49 | -101 | -119 | -133 | -323 | -707 | -833 | -931 | -1,717 | -1,919 | -2,261 | -4,949 | -12,019 | -13,433 | -15,827 | -32,623 | -84,133 | -94,031 | -228,361 | -1,598,527 |
