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 1,617,035, 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 | 1,617,035 | |
| -1 | -1,617,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,617,035.
Example:
1 x 1,617,035 = 1,617,035
and
-1 x -1,617,035 = 1,617,035
Notice both answers equal 1,617,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,617,035 and divide it by 2:
1,617,035 ÷ 2 = 808,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 808,517.5 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 | 1,617,035 | |
| -1 | -1,617,035 |
Now, we try dividing 1,617,035 by 3:
1,617,035 ÷ 3 = 539,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 539,011.6667 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 | 1,617,035 | |
| -1 | -1,617,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,617,035 ÷ 4 = 404,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 404,258.75 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 | 1,617,035 | |
| -1 | 1,617,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 47 | 235 | 329 | 983 | 1,645 | 4,915 | 6,881 | 34,405 | 46,201 | 231,005 | 323,407 | 1,617,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -47 | -235 | -329 | -983 | -1,645 | -4,915 | -6,881 | -34,405 | -46,201 | -231,005 | -323,407 | -1,617,035 |
