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 1,735,685, 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 | 1,735,685 | |
| -1 | -1,735,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,735,685.
Example:
1 x 1,735,685 = 1,735,685
and
-1 x -1,735,685 = 1,735,685
Notice both answers equal 1,735,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,735,685 and divide it by 2:
1,735,685 ÷ 2 = 867,842.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 867,842.5 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 | 1,735,685 | |
| -1 | -1,735,685 |
Now, we try dividing 1,735,685 by 3:
1,735,685 ÷ 3 = 578,561.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 578,561.6667 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 | 1,735,685 | |
| -1 | -1,735,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,735,685 ÷ 4 = 433,921.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 433,921.25 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 | 1,735,685 | |
| -1 | 1,735,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 101 | 491 | 505 | 707 | 2,455 | 3,437 | 3,535 | 17,185 | 49,591 | 247,955 | 347,137 | 1,735,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -101 | -491 | -505 | -707 | -2,455 | -3,437 | -3,535 | -17,185 | -49,591 | -247,955 | -347,137 | -1,735,685 |
