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 1,692,179, 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 | 1,692,179 | |
| -1 | -1,692,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,692,179.
Example:
1 x 1,692,179 = 1,692,179
and
-1 x -1,692,179 = 1,692,179
Notice both answers equal 1,692,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,692,179 and divide it by 2:
1,692,179 ÷ 2 = 846,089.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 846,089.5 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 | 1,692,179 | |
| -1 | -1,692,179 |
Now, we try dividing 1,692,179 by 3:
1,692,179 ÷ 3 = 564,059.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 564,059.6667 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 | 1,692,179 | |
| -1 | -1,692,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,692,179 ÷ 4 = 423,044.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 423,044.75 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 | 1,692,179 | |
| -1 | 1,692,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 43 | 59 | 667 | 989 | 1,247 | 1,357 | 1,711 | 2,537 | 28,681 | 39,353 | 58,351 | 73,573 | 1,692,179 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -43 | -59 | -667 | -989 | -1,247 | -1,357 | -1,711 | -2,537 | -28,681 | -39,353 | -58,351 | -73,573 | -1,692,179 |
