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 1,658,503, 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 | 1,658,503 | |
| -1 | -1,658,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,658,503.
Example:
1 x 1,658,503 = 1,658,503
and
-1 x -1,658,503 = 1,658,503
Notice both answers equal 1,658,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,658,503 and divide it by 2:
1,658,503 ÷ 2 = 829,251.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 829,251.5 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 | 1,658,503 | |
| -1 | -1,658,503 |
Now, we try dividing 1,658,503 by 3:
1,658,503 ÷ 3 = 552,834.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 552,834.3333 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 | 1,658,503 | |
| -1 | -1,658,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,658,503 ÷ 4 = 414,625.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 414,625.75 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 | 1,658,503 | |
| -1 | 1,658,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 49 | 77 | 119 | 181 | 187 | 539 | 833 | 1,267 | 1,309 | 1,991 | 3,077 | 8,869 | 9,163 | 13,937 | 21,539 | 33,847 | 97,559 | 150,773 | 236,929 | 1,658,503 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -49 | -77 | -119 | -181 | -187 | -539 | -833 | -1,267 | -1,309 | -1,991 | -3,077 | -8,869 | -9,163 | -13,937 | -21,539 | -33,847 | -97,559 | -150,773 | -236,929 | -1,658,503 |
