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 1,743,175, 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 | 1,743,175 | |
| -1 | -1,743,175 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,743,175.
Example:
1 x 1,743,175 = 1,743,175
and
-1 x -1,743,175 = 1,743,175
Notice both answers equal 1,743,175
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,743,175 and divide it by 2:
1,743,175 ÷ 2 = 871,587.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 871,587.5 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 | 1,743,175 | |
| -1 | -1,743,175 |
Now, we try dividing 1,743,175 by 3:
1,743,175 ÷ 3 = 581,058.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 581,058.3333 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 | 1,743,175 | |
| -1 | -1,743,175 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,743,175 ÷ 4 = 435,793.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 435,793.75 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 | 1,743,175 | |
| -1 | 1,743,175 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 1,225 | 1,423 | 7,115 | 9,961 | 35,575 | 49,805 | 69,727 | 249,025 | 348,635 | 1,743,175 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -1,225 | -1,423 | -7,115 | -9,961 | -35,575 | -49,805 | -69,727 | -249,025 | -348,635 | -1,743,175 |
