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 1,723,085, 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 | 1,723,085 | |
| -1 | -1,723,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,723,085.
Example:
1 x 1,723,085 = 1,723,085
and
-1 x -1,723,085 = 1,723,085
Notice both answers equal 1,723,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,723,085 and divide it by 2:
1,723,085 ÷ 2 = 861,542.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 861,542.5 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 | 1,723,085 | |
| -1 | -1,723,085 |
Now, we try dividing 1,723,085 by 3:
1,723,085 ÷ 3 = 574,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 574,361.6667 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 | 1,723,085 | |
| -1 | -1,723,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,723,085 ÷ 4 = 430,771.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 430,771.25 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 | 1,723,085 | |
| -1 | 1,723,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 49 | 65 | 91 | 245 | 455 | 541 | 637 | 2,705 | 3,185 | 3,787 | 7,033 | 18,935 | 26,509 | 35,165 | 49,231 | 132,545 | 246,155 | 344,617 | 1,723,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -49 | -65 | -91 | -245 | -455 | -541 | -637 | -2,705 | -3,185 | -3,787 | -7,033 | -18,935 | -26,509 | -35,165 | -49,231 | -132,545 | -246,155 | -344,617 | -1,723,085 |
