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 1,725,925, 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 | 1,725,925 | |
| -1 | -1,725,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,725,925.
Example:
1 x 1,725,925 = 1,725,925
and
-1 x -1,725,925 = 1,725,925
Notice both answers equal 1,725,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,725,925 and divide it by 2:
1,725,925 ÷ 2 = 862,962.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 862,962.5 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 | 1,725,925 | |
| -1 | -1,725,925 |
Now, we try dividing 1,725,925 by 3:
1,725,925 ÷ 3 = 575,308.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 575,308.3333 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 | 1,725,925 | |
| -1 | -1,725,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,725,925 ÷ 4 = 431,481.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 431,481.25 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 | 1,725,925 | |
| -1 | 1,725,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 31 | 85 | 131 | 155 | 425 | 527 | 655 | 775 | 2,227 | 2,635 | 3,275 | 4,061 | 11,135 | 13,175 | 20,305 | 55,675 | 69,037 | 101,525 | 345,185 | 1,725,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -31 | -85 | -131 | -155 | -425 | -527 | -655 | -775 | -2,227 | -2,635 | -3,275 | -4,061 | -11,135 | -13,175 | -20,305 | -55,675 | -69,037 | -101,525 | -345,185 | -1,725,925 |
