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 1,852,627, 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 | 1,852,627 | |
| -1 | -1,852,627 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,852,627.
Example:
1 x 1,852,627 = 1,852,627
and
-1 x -1,852,627 = 1,852,627
Notice both answers equal 1,852,627
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,852,627 and divide it by 2:
1,852,627 ÷ 2 = 926,313.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 926,313.5 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 | 1,852,627 | |
| -1 | -1,852,627 |
Now, we try dividing 1,852,627 by 3:
1,852,627 ÷ 3 = 617,542.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 617,542.3333 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 | 1,852,627 | |
| -1 | -1,852,627 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,852,627 ÷ 4 = 463,156.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 463,156.75 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 | 1,852,627 | |
| -1 | 1,852,627 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 37 | 161 | 259 | 311 | 851 | 2,177 | 5,957 | 7,153 | 11,507 | 50,071 | 80,549 | 264,661 | 1,852,627 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -37 | -161 | -259 | -311 | -851 | -2,177 | -5,957 | -7,153 | -11,507 | -50,071 | -80,549 | -264,661 | -1,852,627 |
