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 1,736,665, 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 | 1,736,665 | |
| -1 | -1,736,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,736,665.
Example:
1 x 1,736,665 = 1,736,665
and
-1 x -1,736,665 = 1,736,665
Notice both answers equal 1,736,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,736,665 and divide it by 2:
1,736,665 ÷ 2 = 868,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 868,332.5 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 | 1,736,665 | |
| -1 | -1,736,665 |
Now, we try dividing 1,736,665 by 3:
1,736,665 ÷ 3 = 578,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 578,888.3333 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 | 1,736,665 | |
| -1 | -1,736,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,736,665 ÷ 4 = 434,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 434,166.25 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 | 1,736,665 | |
| -1 | 1,736,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 59 | 145 | 203 | 295 | 413 | 841 | 1,015 | 1,711 | 2,065 | 4,205 | 5,887 | 8,555 | 11,977 | 29,435 | 49,619 | 59,885 | 248,095 | 347,333 | 1,736,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -59 | -145 | -203 | -295 | -413 | -841 | -1,015 | -1,711 | -2,065 | -4,205 | -5,887 | -8,555 | -11,977 | -29,435 | -49,619 | -59,885 | -248,095 | -347,333 | -1,736,665 |
