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 1,858,975, 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 | 1,858,975 | |
| -1 | -1,858,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,858,975.
Example:
1 x 1,858,975 = 1,858,975
and
-1 x -1,858,975 = 1,858,975
Notice both answers equal 1,858,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,858,975 and divide it by 2:
1,858,975 ÷ 2 = 929,487.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 929,487.5 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 | 1,858,975 | |
| -1 | -1,858,975 |
Now, we try dividing 1,858,975 by 3:
1,858,975 ÷ 3 = 619,658.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 619,658.3333 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 | 1,858,975 | |
| -1 | -1,858,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,858,975 ÷ 4 = 464,743.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 464,743.75 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 | 1,858,975 | |
| -1 | 1,858,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 53 | 61 | 115 | 265 | 305 | 575 | 1,219 | 1,325 | 1,403 | 1,525 | 3,233 | 6,095 | 7,015 | 16,165 | 30,475 | 35,075 | 74,359 | 80,825 | 371,795 | 1,858,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -53 | -61 | -115 | -265 | -305 | -575 | -1,219 | -1,325 | -1,403 | -1,525 | -3,233 | -6,095 | -7,015 | -16,165 | -30,475 | -35,075 | -74,359 | -80,825 | -371,795 | -1,858,975 |
