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 1,846,169, 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 | 1,846,169 | |
| -1 | -1,846,169 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,846,169.
Example:
1 x 1,846,169 = 1,846,169
and
-1 x -1,846,169 = 1,846,169
Notice both answers equal 1,846,169
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,846,169 and divide it by 2:
1,846,169 ÷ 2 = 923,084.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 923,084.5 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 | 1,846,169 | |
| -1 | -1,846,169 |
Now, we try dividing 1,846,169 by 3:
1,846,169 ÷ 3 = 615,389.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 615,389.6667 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 | 1,846,169 | |
| -1 | -1,846,169 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,846,169 ÷ 4 = 461,542.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 461,542.25 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 | 1,846,169 | |
| -1 | 1,846,169 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 59 | 83 | 377 | 767 | 1,079 | 1,711 | 2,407 | 4,897 | 22,243 | 31,291 | 63,661 | 142,013 | 1,846,169 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -59 | -83 | -377 | -767 | -1,079 | -1,711 | -2,407 | -4,897 | -22,243 | -31,291 | -63,661 | -142,013 | -1,846,169 |
