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 1,743,455, 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 | 1,743,455 | |
| -1 | -1,743,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,743,455.
Example:
1 x 1,743,455 = 1,743,455
and
-1 x -1,743,455 = 1,743,455
Notice both answers equal 1,743,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,743,455 and divide it by 2:
1,743,455 ÷ 2 = 871,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 871,727.5 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 | 1,743,455 | |
| -1 | -1,743,455 |
Now, we try dividing 1,743,455 by 3:
1,743,455 ÷ 3 = 581,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 581,151.6667 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 | 1,743,455 | |
| -1 | -1,743,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,743,455 ÷ 4 = 435,863.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 435,863.75 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 | 1,743,455 | |
| -1 | 1,743,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 109 | 457 | 545 | 763 | 2,285 | 3,199 | 3,815 | 15,995 | 49,813 | 249,065 | 348,691 | 1,743,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -109 | -457 | -545 | -763 | -2,285 | -3,199 | -3,815 | -15,995 | -49,813 | -249,065 | -348,691 | -1,743,455 |
