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 1,659,385, 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 | 1,659,385 | |
| -1 | -1,659,385 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,659,385.
Example:
1 x 1,659,385 = 1,659,385
and
-1 x -1,659,385 = 1,659,385
Notice both answers equal 1,659,385
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,659,385 and divide it by 2:
1,659,385 ÷ 2 = 829,692.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 829,692.5 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 | 1,659,385 | |
| -1 | -1,659,385 |
Now, we try dividing 1,659,385 by 3:
1,659,385 ÷ 3 = 553,128.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 553,128.3333 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 | 1,659,385 | |
| -1 | -1,659,385 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,659,385 ÷ 4 = 414,846.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 414,846.25 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 | 1,659,385 | |
| -1 | 1,659,385 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 49 | 65 | 91 | 245 | 455 | 521 | 637 | 2,605 | 3,185 | 3,647 | 6,773 | 18,235 | 25,529 | 33,865 | 47,411 | 127,645 | 237,055 | 331,877 | 1,659,385 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -49 | -65 | -91 | -245 | -455 | -521 | -637 | -2,605 | -3,185 | -3,647 | -6,773 | -18,235 | -25,529 | -33,865 | -47,411 | -127,645 | -237,055 | -331,877 | -1,659,385 |
