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 1,634,255, 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 | 1,634,255 | |
| -1 | -1,634,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,634,255.
Example:
1 x 1,634,255 = 1,634,255
and
-1 x -1,634,255 = 1,634,255
Notice both answers equal 1,634,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,634,255 and divide it by 2:
1,634,255 ÷ 2 = 817,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 817,127.5 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 | 1,634,255 | |
| -1 | -1,634,255 |
Now, we try dividing 1,634,255 by 3:
1,634,255 ÷ 3 = 544,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 544,751.6667 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 | 1,634,255 | |
| -1 | -1,634,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,634,255 ÷ 4 = 408,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 408,563.75 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 | 1,634,255 | |
| -1 | 1,634,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 53 | 265 | 371 | 881 | 1,855 | 4,405 | 6,167 | 30,835 | 46,693 | 233,465 | 326,851 | 1,634,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -53 | -265 | -371 | -881 | -1,855 | -4,405 | -6,167 | -30,835 | -46,693 | -233,465 | -326,851 | -1,634,255 |
