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 1,742,975, 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 | 1,742,975 | |
| -1 | -1,742,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,742,975.
Example:
1 x 1,742,975 = 1,742,975
and
-1 x -1,742,975 = 1,742,975
Notice both answers equal 1,742,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,742,975 and divide it by 2:
1,742,975 ÷ 2 = 871,487.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 871,487.5 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 | 1,742,975 | |
| -1 | -1,742,975 |
Now, we try dividing 1,742,975 by 3:
1,742,975 ÷ 3 = 580,991.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 580,991.6667 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 | 1,742,975 | |
| -1 | -1,742,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,742,975 ÷ 4 = 435,743.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 435,743.75 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 | 1,742,975 | |
| -1 | 1,742,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 173 | 325 | 403 | 775 | 865 | 2,015 | 2,249 | 4,325 | 5,363 | 10,075 | 11,245 | 26,815 | 56,225 | 69,719 | 134,075 | 348,595 | 1,742,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -173 | -325 | -403 | -775 | -865 | -2,015 | -2,249 | -4,325 | -5,363 | -10,075 | -11,245 | -26,815 | -56,225 | -69,719 | -134,075 | -348,595 | -1,742,975 |
