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 1,754,335, 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 | 1,754,335 | |
| -1 | -1,754,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,754,335.
Example:
1 x 1,754,335 = 1,754,335
and
-1 x -1,754,335 = 1,754,335
Notice both answers equal 1,754,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,754,335 and divide it by 2:
1,754,335 ÷ 2 = 877,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 877,167.5 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 | 1,754,335 | |
| -1 | -1,754,335 |
Now, we try dividing 1,754,335 by 3:
1,754,335 ÷ 3 = 584,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 584,778.3333 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 | 1,754,335 | |
| -1 | -1,754,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,754,335 ÷ 4 = 438,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 438,583.75 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 | 1,754,335 | |
| -1 | 1,754,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 167 | 191 | 835 | 955 | 1,837 | 2,101 | 9,185 | 10,505 | 31,897 | 159,485 | 350,867 | 1,754,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -167 | -191 | -835 | -955 | -1,837 | -2,101 | -9,185 | -10,505 | -31,897 | -159,485 | -350,867 | -1,754,335 |
