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 1,872,625, 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 | 1,872,625 | |
| -1 | -1,872,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,872,625.
Example:
1 x 1,872,625 = 1,872,625
and
-1 x -1,872,625 = 1,872,625
Notice both answers equal 1,872,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,872,625 and divide it by 2:
1,872,625 ÷ 2 = 936,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 936,312.5 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 | 1,872,625 | |
| -1 | -1,872,625 |
Now, we try dividing 1,872,625 by 3:
1,872,625 ÷ 3 = 624,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 624,208.3333 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 | 1,872,625 | |
| -1 | -1,872,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,872,625 ÷ 4 = 468,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 468,156.25 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 | 1,872,625 | |
| -1 | 1,872,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 71 | 125 | 211 | 355 | 1,055 | 1,775 | 5,275 | 8,875 | 14,981 | 26,375 | 74,905 | 374,525 | 1,872,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -71 | -125 | -211 | -355 | -1,055 | -1,775 | -5,275 | -8,875 | -14,981 | -26,375 | -74,905 | -374,525 | -1,872,625 |
