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 1,624,435, 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 | 1,624,435 | |
| -1 | -1,624,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,624,435.
Example:
1 x 1,624,435 = 1,624,435
and
-1 x -1,624,435 = 1,624,435
Notice both answers equal 1,624,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,624,435 and divide it by 2:
1,624,435 ÷ 2 = 812,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 812,217.5 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 | 1,624,435 | |
| -1 | -1,624,435 |
Now, we try dividing 1,624,435 by 3:
1,624,435 ÷ 3 = 541,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 541,478.3333 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 | 1,624,435 | |
| -1 | -1,624,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,624,435 ÷ 4 = 406,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 406,108.75 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 | 1,624,435 | |
| -1 | 1,624,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 659 | 2,465 | 3,295 | 11,203 | 19,111 | 56,015 | 95,555 | 324,887 | 1,624,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -659 | -2,465 | -3,295 | -11,203 | -19,111 | -56,015 | -95,555 | -324,887 | -1,624,435 |
