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 1,746,395, 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 | 1,746,395 | |
| -1 | -1,746,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,746,395.
Example:
1 x 1,746,395 = 1,746,395
and
-1 x -1,746,395 = 1,746,395
Notice both answers equal 1,746,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,746,395 and divide it by 2:
1,746,395 ÷ 2 = 873,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 873,197.5 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 | 1,746,395 | |
| -1 | -1,746,395 |
Now, we try dividing 1,746,395 by 3:
1,746,395 ÷ 3 = 582,131.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 582,131.6667 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 | 1,746,395 | |
| -1 | -1,746,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,746,395 ÷ 4 = 436,598.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 436,598.75 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 | 1,746,395 | |
| -1 | 1,746,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 41 | 205 | 287 | 1,217 | 1,435 | 6,085 | 8,519 | 42,595 | 49,897 | 249,485 | 349,279 | 1,746,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -41 | -205 | -287 | -1,217 | -1,435 | -6,085 | -8,519 | -42,595 | -49,897 | -249,485 | -349,279 | -1,746,395 |
