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 1,871,345, 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 | 1,871,345 | |
| -1 | -1,871,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,871,345.
Example:
1 x 1,871,345 = 1,871,345
and
-1 x -1,871,345 = 1,871,345
Notice both answers equal 1,871,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,871,345 and divide it by 2:
1,871,345 ÷ 2 = 935,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 935,672.5 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 | 1,871,345 | |
| -1 | -1,871,345 |
Now, we try dividing 1,871,345 by 3:
1,871,345 ÷ 3 = 623,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 623,781.6667 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 | 1,871,345 | |
| -1 | -1,871,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,871,345 ÷ 4 = 467,836.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 467,836.25 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 | 1,871,345 | |
| -1 | 1,871,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 127 | 421 | 635 | 889 | 2,105 | 2,947 | 4,445 | 14,735 | 53,467 | 267,335 | 374,269 | 1,871,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -127 | -421 | -635 | -889 | -2,105 | -2,947 | -4,445 | -14,735 | -53,467 | -267,335 | -374,269 | -1,871,345 |
