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 1,705,055, 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 | 1,705,055 | |
| -1 | -1,705,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,705,055.
Example:
1 x 1,705,055 = 1,705,055
and
-1 x -1,705,055 = 1,705,055
Notice both answers equal 1,705,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,705,055 and divide it by 2:
1,705,055 ÷ 2 = 852,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 852,527.5 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 | 1,705,055 | |
| -1 | -1,705,055 |
Now, we try dividing 1,705,055 by 3:
1,705,055 ÷ 3 = 568,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 568,351.6667 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 | 1,705,055 | |
| -1 | -1,705,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,705,055 ÷ 4 = 426,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 426,263.75 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 | 1,705,055 | |
| -1 | 1,705,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,069 | 1,595 | 5,345 | 11,759 | 31,001 | 58,795 | 155,005 | 341,011 | 1,705,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,069 | -1,595 | -5,345 | -11,759 | -31,001 | -58,795 | -155,005 | -341,011 | -1,705,055 |
