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 1,676,693, 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 | 1,676,693 | |
| -1 | -1,676,693 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,676,693.
Example:
1 x 1,676,693 = 1,676,693
and
-1 x -1,676,693 = 1,676,693
Notice both answers equal 1,676,693
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,676,693 and divide it by 2:
1,676,693 ÷ 2 = 838,346.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 838,346.5 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 | 1,676,693 | |
| -1 | -1,676,693 |
Now, we try dividing 1,676,693 by 3:
1,676,693 ÷ 3 = 558,897.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 558,897.6667 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 | 1,676,693 | |
| -1 | -1,676,693 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,676,693 ÷ 4 = 419,173.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 419,173.25 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 | 1,676,693 | |
| -1 | 1,676,693 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 29 | 179 | 323 | 493 | 551 | 3,043 | 3,401 | 5,191 | 9,367 | 57,817 | 88,247 | 98,629 | 1,676,693 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -29 | -179 | -323 | -493 | -551 | -3,043 | -3,401 | -5,191 | -9,367 | -57,817 | -88,247 | -98,629 | -1,676,693 |
