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 1,843,595, 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 | 1,843,595 | |
| -1 | -1,843,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,843,595.
Example:
1 x 1,843,595 = 1,843,595
and
-1 x -1,843,595 = 1,843,595
Notice both answers equal 1,843,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,843,595 and divide it by 2:
1,843,595 ÷ 2 = 921,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 921,797.5 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 | 1,843,595 | |
| -1 | -1,843,595 |
Now, we try dividing 1,843,595 by 3:
1,843,595 ÷ 3 = 614,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 614,531.6667 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 | 1,843,595 | |
| -1 | -1,843,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,843,595 ÷ 4 = 460,898.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 460,898.75 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 | 1,843,595 | |
| -1 | 1,843,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 113 | 251 | 565 | 1,255 | 1,469 | 3,263 | 7,345 | 16,315 | 28,363 | 141,815 | 368,719 | 1,843,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -113 | -251 | -565 | -1,255 | -1,469 | -3,263 | -7,345 | -16,315 | -28,363 | -141,815 | -368,719 | -1,843,595 |
