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 1,645,685, 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 | 1,645,685 | |
| -1 | -1,645,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,645,685.
Example:
1 x 1,645,685 = 1,645,685
and
-1 x -1,645,685 = 1,645,685
Notice both answers equal 1,645,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,645,685 and divide it by 2:
1,645,685 ÷ 2 = 822,842.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 822,842.5 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 | 1,645,685 | |
| -1 | -1,645,685 |
Now, we try dividing 1,645,685 by 3:
1,645,685 ÷ 3 = 548,561.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 548,561.6667 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 | 1,645,685 | |
| -1 | -1,645,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,645,685 ÷ 4 = 411,421.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 411,421.25 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 | 1,645,685 | |
| -1 | 1,645,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,019 | 1,615 | 5,095 | 17,323 | 19,361 | 86,615 | 96,805 | 329,137 | 1,645,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,019 | -1,615 | -5,095 | -17,323 | -19,361 | -86,615 | -96,805 | -329,137 | -1,645,685 |
