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 1,609,471, 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 | 1,609,471 | |
| -1 | -1,609,471 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,609,471.
Example:
1 x 1,609,471 = 1,609,471
and
-1 x -1,609,471 = 1,609,471
Notice both answers equal 1,609,471
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,609,471 and divide it by 2:
1,609,471 ÷ 2 = 804,735.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 804,735.5 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 | 1,609,471 | |
| -1 | -1,609,471 |
Now, we try dividing 1,609,471 by 3:
1,609,471 ÷ 3 = 536,490.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 536,490.3333 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 | 1,609,471 | |
| -1 | -1,609,471 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,609,471 ÷ 4 = 402,367.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 402,367.75 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 | 1,609,471 | |
| -1 | 1,609,471 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 29 | 127 | 437 | 551 | 667 | 2,413 | 2,921 | 3,683 | 12,673 | 55,499 | 69,977 | 84,709 | 1,609,471 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -29 | -127 | -437 | -551 | -667 | -2,413 | -2,921 | -3,683 | -12,673 | -55,499 | -69,977 | -84,709 | -1,609,471 |
