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 1,842,005, 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 | 1,842,005 | |
| -1 | -1,842,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,842,005.
Example:
1 x 1,842,005 = 1,842,005
and
-1 x -1,842,005 = 1,842,005
Notice both answers equal 1,842,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,842,005 and divide it by 2:
1,842,005 ÷ 2 = 921,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 921,002.5 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 | 1,842,005 | |
| -1 | -1,842,005 |
Now, we try dividing 1,842,005 by 3:
1,842,005 ÷ 3 = 614,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 614,001.6667 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 | 1,842,005 | |
| -1 | -1,842,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,842,005 ÷ 4 = 460,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 460,501.25 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 | 1,842,005 | |
| -1 | 1,842,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 107 | 313 | 535 | 1,177 | 1,565 | 3,443 | 5,885 | 17,215 | 33,491 | 167,455 | 368,401 | 1,842,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -107 | -313 | -535 | -1,177 | -1,565 | -3,443 | -5,885 | -17,215 | -33,491 | -167,455 | -368,401 | -1,842,005 |
