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 1,662,605, 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 | 1,662,605 | |
| -1 | -1,662,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,662,605.
Example:
1 x 1,662,605 = 1,662,605
and
-1 x -1,662,605 = 1,662,605
Notice both answers equal 1,662,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,662,605 and divide it by 2:
1,662,605 ÷ 2 = 831,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 831,302.5 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 | 1,662,605 | |
| -1 | -1,662,605 |
Now, we try dividing 1,662,605 by 3:
1,662,605 ÷ 3 = 554,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 554,201.6667 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 | 1,662,605 | |
| -1 | -1,662,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,662,605 ÷ 4 = 415,651.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 415,651.25 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 | 1,662,605 | |
| -1 | 1,662,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 67 | 335 | 469 | 709 | 2,345 | 3,545 | 4,963 | 24,815 | 47,503 | 237,515 | 332,521 | 1,662,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -67 | -335 | -469 | -709 | -2,345 | -3,545 | -4,963 | -24,815 | -47,503 | -237,515 | -332,521 | -1,662,605 |
