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 1,888,295, 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 | 1,888,295 | |
| -1 | -1,888,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,888,295.
Example:
1 x 1,888,295 = 1,888,295
and
-1 x -1,888,295 = 1,888,295
Notice both answers equal 1,888,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,888,295 and divide it by 2:
1,888,295 ÷ 2 = 944,147.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 944,147.5 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 | 1,888,295 | |
| -1 | -1,888,295 |
Now, we try dividing 1,888,295 by 3:
1,888,295 ÷ 3 = 629,431.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 629,431.6667 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 | 1,888,295 | |
| -1 | -1,888,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,888,295 ÷ 4 = 472,073.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 472,073.75 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 | 1,888,295 | |
| -1 | 1,888,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 59 | 173 | 185 | 295 | 865 | 2,183 | 6,401 | 10,207 | 10,915 | 32,005 | 51,035 | 377,659 | 1,888,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -59 | -173 | -185 | -295 | -865 | -2,183 | -6,401 | -10,207 | -10,915 | -32,005 | -51,035 | -377,659 | -1,888,295 |
