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 1,701,931, 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 | 1,701,931 | |
| -1 | -1,701,931 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,701,931.
Example:
1 x 1,701,931 = 1,701,931
and
-1 x -1,701,931 = 1,701,931
Notice both answers equal 1,701,931
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,701,931 and divide it by 2:
1,701,931 ÷ 2 = 850,965.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 850,965.5 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 | 1,701,931 | |
| -1 | -1,701,931 |
Now, we try dividing 1,701,931 by 3:
1,701,931 ÷ 3 = 567,310.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 567,310.3333 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 | 1,701,931 | |
| -1 | -1,701,931 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,701,931 ÷ 4 = 425,482.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 425,482.75 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 | 1,701,931 | |
| -1 | 1,701,931 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 23 | 31 | 77 | 161 | 217 | 253 | 341 | 713 | 961 | 1,771 | 2,387 | 4,991 | 6,727 | 7,843 | 10,571 | 22,103 | 54,901 | 73,997 | 154,721 | 243,133 | 1,701,931 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -23 | -31 | -77 | -161 | -217 | -253 | -341 | -713 | -961 | -1,771 | -2,387 | -4,991 | -6,727 | -7,843 | -10,571 | -22,103 | -54,901 | -73,997 | -154,721 | -243,133 | -1,701,931 |
