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 1,902,895, 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 | 1,902,895 | |
| -1 | -1,902,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,902,895.
Example:
1 x 1,902,895 = 1,902,895
and
-1 x -1,902,895 = 1,902,895
Notice both answers equal 1,902,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,902,895 and divide it by 2:
1,902,895 ÷ 2 = 951,447.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 951,447.5 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 | 1,902,895 | |
| -1 | -1,902,895 |
Now, we try dividing 1,902,895 by 3:
1,902,895 ÷ 3 = 634,298.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 634,298.3333 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 | 1,902,895 | |
| -1 | -1,902,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,902,895 ÷ 4 = 475,723.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 475,723.75 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 | 1,902,895 | |
| -1 | 1,902,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 61 | 85 | 305 | 367 | 1,037 | 1,835 | 5,185 | 6,239 | 22,387 | 31,195 | 111,935 | 380,579 | 1,902,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -61 | -85 | -305 | -367 | -1,037 | -1,835 | -5,185 | -6,239 | -22,387 | -31,195 | -111,935 | -380,579 | -1,902,895 |
