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 1,744,345, 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 | 1,744,345 | |
| -1 | -1,744,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,744,345.
Example:
1 x 1,744,345 = 1,744,345
and
-1 x -1,744,345 = 1,744,345
Notice both answers equal 1,744,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,744,345 and divide it by 2:
1,744,345 ÷ 2 = 872,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 872,172.5 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 | 1,744,345 | |
| -1 | -1,744,345 |
Now, we try dividing 1,744,345 by 3:
1,744,345 ÷ 3 = 581,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 581,448.3333 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 | 1,744,345 | |
| -1 | -1,744,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,744,345 ÷ 4 = 436,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 436,086.25 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 | 1,744,345 | |
| -1 | 1,744,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 67 | 127 | 205 | 335 | 635 | 2,747 | 5,207 | 8,509 | 13,735 | 26,035 | 42,545 | 348,869 | 1,744,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -67 | -127 | -205 | -335 | -635 | -2,747 | -5,207 | -8,509 | -13,735 | -26,035 | -42,545 | -348,869 | -1,744,345 |
