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 1,896,323, 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 | 1,896,323 | |
| -1 | -1,896,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,896,323.
Example:
1 x 1,896,323 = 1,896,323
and
-1 x -1,896,323 = 1,896,323
Notice both answers equal 1,896,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,896,323 and divide it by 2:
1,896,323 ÷ 2 = 948,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 948,161.5 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 | 1,896,323 | |
| -1 | -1,896,323 |
Now, we try dividing 1,896,323 by 3:
1,896,323 ÷ 3 = 632,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 632,107.6667 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 | 1,896,323 | |
| -1 | -1,896,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,896,323 ÷ 4 = 474,080.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 474,080.75 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 | 1,896,323 | |
| -1 | 1,896,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 89 | 143 | 149 | 979 | 1,157 | 1,639 | 1,937 | 12,727 | 13,261 | 21,307 | 145,871 | 172,393 | 1,896,323 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -89 | -143 | -149 | -979 | -1,157 | -1,639 | -1,937 | -12,727 | -13,261 | -21,307 | -145,871 | -172,393 | -1,896,323 |
