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 1,831,733, 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 | 1,831,733 | |
| -1 | -1,831,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,831,733.
Example:
1 x 1,831,733 = 1,831,733
and
-1 x -1,831,733 = 1,831,733
Notice both answers equal 1,831,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,831,733 and divide it by 2:
1,831,733 ÷ 2 = 915,866.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 915,866.5 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 | 1,831,733 | |
| -1 | -1,831,733 |
Now, we try dividing 1,831,733 by 3:
1,831,733 ÷ 3 = 610,577.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 610,577.6667 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 | 1,831,733 | |
| -1 | -1,831,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,831,733 ÷ 4 = 457,933.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 457,933.25 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 | 1,831,733 | |
| -1 | 1,831,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 53 | 107 | 323 | 901 | 1,007 | 1,819 | 2,033 | 5,671 | 17,119 | 34,561 | 96,407 | 107,749 | 1,831,733 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -53 | -107 | -323 | -901 | -1,007 | -1,819 | -2,033 | -5,671 | -17,119 | -34,561 | -96,407 | -107,749 | -1,831,733 |
