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 1,825,621, 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 | 1,825,621 | |
| -1 | -1,825,621 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,825,621.
Example:
1 x 1,825,621 = 1,825,621
and
-1 x -1,825,621 = 1,825,621
Notice both answers equal 1,825,621
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,825,621 and divide it by 2:
1,825,621 ÷ 2 = 912,810.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 912,810.5 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 | 1,825,621 | |
| -1 | -1,825,621 |
Now, we try dividing 1,825,621 by 3:
1,825,621 ÷ 3 = 608,540.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 608,540.3333 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 | 1,825,621 | |
| -1 | -1,825,621 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,825,621 ÷ 4 = 456,405.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 456,405.25 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 | 1,825,621 | |
| -1 | 1,825,621 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 47 | 179 | 217 | 329 | 1,253 | 1,457 | 5,549 | 8,413 | 10,199 | 38,843 | 58,891 | 260,803 | 1,825,621 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -47 | -179 | -217 | -329 | -1,253 | -1,457 | -5,549 | -8,413 | -10,199 | -38,843 | -58,891 | -260,803 | -1,825,621 |
