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 1,614,575, 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 | 1,614,575 | |
| -1 | -1,614,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,614,575.
Example:
1 x 1,614,575 = 1,614,575
and
-1 x -1,614,575 = 1,614,575
Notice both answers equal 1,614,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,614,575 and divide it by 2:
1,614,575 ÷ 2 = 807,287.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 807,287.5 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 | 1,614,575 | |
| -1 | -1,614,575 |
Now, we try dividing 1,614,575 by 3:
1,614,575 ÷ 3 = 538,191.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 538,191.6667 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 | 1,614,575 | |
| -1 | -1,614,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,614,575 ÷ 4 = 403,643.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 403,643.75 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 | 1,614,575 | |
| -1 | 1,614,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 29 | 85 | 131 | 145 | 425 | 493 | 655 | 725 | 2,227 | 2,465 | 3,275 | 3,799 | 11,135 | 12,325 | 18,995 | 55,675 | 64,583 | 94,975 | 322,915 | 1,614,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -29 | -85 | -131 | -145 | -425 | -493 | -655 | -725 | -2,227 | -2,465 | -3,275 | -3,799 | -11,135 | -12,325 | -18,995 | -55,675 | -64,583 | -94,975 | -322,915 | -1,614,575 |
