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 1,724,275, 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 | 1,724,275 | |
| -1 | -1,724,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,724,275.
Example:
1 x 1,724,275 = 1,724,275
and
-1 x -1,724,275 = 1,724,275
Notice both answers equal 1,724,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,724,275 and divide it by 2:
1,724,275 ÷ 2 = 862,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 862,137.5 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 | 1,724,275 | |
| -1 | -1,724,275 |
Now, we try dividing 1,724,275 by 3:
1,724,275 ÷ 3 = 574,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 574,758.3333 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 | 1,724,275 | |
| -1 | -1,724,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,724,275 ÷ 4 = 431,068.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 431,068.75 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 | 1,724,275 | |
| -1 | 1,724,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 59 | 167 | 175 | 295 | 413 | 835 | 1,169 | 1,475 | 2,065 | 4,175 | 5,845 | 9,853 | 10,325 | 29,225 | 49,265 | 68,971 | 246,325 | 344,855 | 1,724,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -59 | -167 | -175 | -295 | -413 | -835 | -1,169 | -1,475 | -2,065 | -4,175 | -5,845 | -9,853 | -10,325 | -29,225 | -49,265 | -68,971 | -246,325 | -344,855 | -1,724,275 |
