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 1,814,309, 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 | 1,814,309 | |
| -1 | -1,814,309 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,814,309.
Example:
1 x 1,814,309 = 1,814,309
and
-1 x -1,814,309 = 1,814,309
Notice both answers equal 1,814,309
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,814,309 and divide it by 2:
1,814,309 ÷ 2 = 907,154.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 907,154.5 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 | 1,814,309 | |
| -1 | -1,814,309 |
Now, we try dividing 1,814,309 by 3:
1,814,309 ÷ 3 = 604,769.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 604,769.6667 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 | 1,814,309 | |
| -1 | -1,814,309 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,814,309 ÷ 4 = 453,577.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 453,577.25 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 | 1,814,309 | |
| -1 | 1,814,309 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 59 | 161 | 191 | 413 | 1,337 | 1,357 | 4,393 | 9,499 | 11,269 | 30,751 | 78,883 | 259,187 | 1,814,309 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -59 | -161 | -191 | -413 | -1,337 | -1,357 | -4,393 | -9,499 | -11,269 | -30,751 | -78,883 | -259,187 | -1,814,309 |
