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 1,884,743, 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 | 1,884,743 | |
| -1 | -1,884,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,884,743.
Example:
1 x 1,884,743 = 1,884,743
and
-1 x -1,884,743 = 1,884,743
Notice both answers equal 1,884,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,884,743 and divide it by 2:
1,884,743 ÷ 2 = 942,371.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 942,371.5 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 | 1,884,743 | |
| -1 | -1,884,743 |
Now, we try dividing 1,884,743 by 3:
1,884,743 ÷ 3 = 628,247.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 628,247.6667 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 | 1,884,743 | |
| -1 | -1,884,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,884,743 ÷ 4 = 471,185.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 471,185.75 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 | 1,884,743 | |
| -1 | 1,884,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 37 | 133 | 259 | 383 | 703 | 2,681 | 4,921 | 7,277 | 14,171 | 50,939 | 99,197 | 269,249 | 1,884,743 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -37 | -133 | -259 | -383 | -703 | -2,681 | -4,921 | -7,277 | -14,171 | -50,939 | -99,197 | -269,249 | -1,884,743 |
