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 1,707,085, 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 | 1,707,085 | |
| -1 | -1,707,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,707,085.
Example:
1 x 1,707,085 = 1,707,085
and
-1 x -1,707,085 = 1,707,085
Notice both answers equal 1,707,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,707,085 and divide it by 2:
1,707,085 ÷ 2 = 853,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 853,542.5 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 | 1,707,085 | |
| -1 | -1,707,085 |
Now, we try dividing 1,707,085 by 3:
1,707,085 ÷ 3 = 569,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 569,028.3333 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 | 1,707,085 | |
| -1 | -1,707,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,707,085 ÷ 4 = 426,771.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 426,771.25 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 | 1,707,085 | |
| -1 | 1,707,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 61 | 145 | 193 | 305 | 965 | 1,769 | 5,597 | 8,845 | 11,773 | 27,985 | 58,865 | 341,417 | 1,707,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -61 | -145 | -193 | -305 | -965 | -1,769 | -5,597 | -8,845 | -11,773 | -27,985 | -58,865 | -341,417 | -1,707,085 |
