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 1,847,521, 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 | 1,847,521 | |
| -1 | -1,847,521 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,847,521.
Example:
1 x 1,847,521 = 1,847,521
and
-1 x -1,847,521 = 1,847,521
Notice both answers equal 1,847,521
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,847,521 and divide it by 2:
1,847,521 ÷ 2 = 923,760.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 923,760.5 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 | 1,847,521 | |
| -1 | -1,847,521 |
Now, we try dividing 1,847,521 by 3:
1,847,521 ÷ 3 = 615,840.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 615,840.3333 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 | 1,847,521 | |
| -1 | -1,847,521 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,847,521 ÷ 4 = 461,880.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 461,880.25 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 | 1,847,521 | |
| -1 | 1,847,521 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 37 | 167 | 299 | 481 | 851 | 2,171 | 3,841 | 6,179 | 11,063 | 49,933 | 80,327 | 142,117 | 1,847,521 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -37 | -167 | -299 | -481 | -851 | -2,171 | -3,841 | -6,179 | -11,063 | -49,933 | -80,327 | -142,117 | -1,847,521 |
