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 1,745,821, 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 | 1,745,821 | |
| -1 | -1,745,821 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,745,821.
Example:
1 x 1,745,821 = 1,745,821
and
-1 x -1,745,821 = 1,745,821
Notice both answers equal 1,745,821
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,745,821 and divide it by 2:
1,745,821 ÷ 2 = 872,910.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 872,910.5 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 | 1,745,821 | |
| -1 | -1,745,821 |
Now, we try dividing 1,745,821 by 3:
1,745,821 ÷ 3 = 581,940.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 581,940.3333 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 | 1,745,821 | |
| -1 | -1,745,821 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,745,821 ÷ 4 = 436,455.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 436,455.25 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 | 1,745,821 | |
| -1 | 1,745,821 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 41 | 49 | 77 | 79 | 287 | 451 | 539 | 553 | 869 | 2,009 | 3,157 | 3,239 | 3,871 | 6,083 | 22,099 | 22,673 | 35,629 | 42,581 | 158,711 | 249,403 | 1,745,821 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -41 | -49 | -77 | -79 | -287 | -451 | -539 | -553 | -869 | -2,009 | -3,157 | -3,239 | -3,871 | -6,083 | -22,099 | -22,673 | -35,629 | -42,581 | -158,711 | -249,403 | -1,745,821 |
