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 1,667,875, 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 | 1,667,875 | |
| -1 | -1,667,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,667,875.
Example:
1 x 1,667,875 = 1,667,875
and
-1 x -1,667,875 = 1,667,875
Notice both answers equal 1,667,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,667,875 and divide it by 2:
1,667,875 ÷ 2 = 833,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 833,937.5 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 | 1,667,875 | |
| -1 | -1,667,875 |
Now, we try dividing 1,667,875 by 3:
1,667,875 ÷ 3 = 555,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 555,958.3333 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 | 1,667,875 | |
| -1 | -1,667,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,667,875 ÷ 4 = 416,968.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 416,968.75 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 | 1,667,875 | |
| -1 | 1,667,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 1,213 | 1,375 | 6,065 | 13,343 | 30,325 | 66,715 | 151,625 | 333,575 | 1,667,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -1,213 | -1,375 | -6,065 | -13,343 | -30,325 | -66,715 | -151,625 | -333,575 | -1,667,875 |
