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 1,846,855, 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 | 1,846,855 | |
| -1 | -1,846,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,846,855.
Example:
1 x 1,846,855 = 1,846,855
and
-1 x -1,846,855 = 1,846,855
Notice both answers equal 1,846,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,846,855 and divide it by 2:
1,846,855 ÷ 2 = 923,427.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 923,427.5 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 | 1,846,855 | |
| -1 | -1,846,855 |
Now, we try dividing 1,846,855 by 3:
1,846,855 ÷ 3 = 615,618.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 615,618.3333 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 | 1,846,855 | |
| -1 | -1,846,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,846,855 ÷ 4 = 461,713.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 461,713.75 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 | 1,846,855 | |
| -1 | 1,846,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 67 | 149 | 185 | 335 | 745 | 2,479 | 5,513 | 9,983 | 12,395 | 27,565 | 49,915 | 369,371 | 1,846,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -67 | -149 | -185 | -335 | -745 | -2,479 | -5,513 | -9,983 | -12,395 | -27,565 | -49,915 | -369,371 | -1,846,855 |
