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 1,647,545, 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 | 1,647,545 | |
| -1 | -1,647,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,647,545.
Example:
1 x 1,647,545 = 1,647,545
and
-1 x -1,647,545 = 1,647,545
Notice both answers equal 1,647,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,647,545 and divide it by 2:
1,647,545 ÷ 2 = 823,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 823,772.5 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 | 1,647,545 | |
| -1 | -1,647,545 |
Now, we try dividing 1,647,545 by 3:
1,647,545 ÷ 3 = 549,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 549,181.6667 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 | 1,647,545 | |
| -1 | -1,647,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,647,545 ÷ 4 = 411,886.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 411,886.25 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 | 1,647,545 | |
| -1 | 1,647,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 79 | 97 | 215 | 395 | 485 | 3,397 | 4,171 | 7,663 | 16,985 | 20,855 | 38,315 | 329,509 | 1,647,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -79 | -97 | -215 | -395 | -485 | -3,397 | -4,171 | -7,663 | -16,985 | -20,855 | -38,315 | -329,509 | -1,647,545 |
