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 1,702,745, 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 | 1,702,745 | |
| -1 | -1,702,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,702,745.
Example:
1 x 1,702,745 = 1,702,745
and
-1 x -1,702,745 = 1,702,745
Notice both answers equal 1,702,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,702,745 and divide it by 2:
1,702,745 ÷ 2 = 851,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 851,372.5 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 | 1,702,745 | |
| -1 | -1,702,745 |
Now, we try dividing 1,702,745 by 3:
1,702,745 ÷ 3 = 567,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 567,581.6667 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 | 1,702,745 | |
| -1 | -1,702,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,702,745 ÷ 4 = 425,686.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 425,686.25 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 | 1,702,745 | |
| -1 | 1,702,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 83 | 373 | 415 | 913 | 1,865 | 4,103 | 4,565 | 20,515 | 30,959 | 154,795 | 340,549 | 1,702,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -83 | -373 | -415 | -913 | -1,865 | -4,103 | -4,565 | -20,515 | -30,959 | -154,795 | -340,549 | -1,702,745 |
