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 1,935,731, 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 | 1,935,731 | |
| -1 | -1,935,731 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,935,731.
Example:
1 x 1,935,731 = 1,935,731
and
-1 x -1,935,731 = 1,935,731
Notice both answers equal 1,935,731
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,935,731 and divide it by 2:
1,935,731 ÷ 2 = 967,865.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 967,865.5 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 | 1,935,731 | |
| -1 | -1,935,731 |
Now, we try dividing 1,935,731 by 3:
1,935,731 ÷ 3 = 645,243.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 645,243.6667 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 | 1,935,731 | |
| -1 | -1,935,731 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,935,731 ÷ 4 = 483,932.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 483,932.75 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 | 1,935,731 | |
| -1 | 1,935,731 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 59 | 109 | 301 | 413 | 763 | 2,537 | 4,687 | 6,431 | 17,759 | 32,809 | 45,017 | 276,533 | 1,935,731 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -59 | -109 | -301 | -413 | -763 | -2,537 | -4,687 | -6,431 | -17,759 | -32,809 | -45,017 | -276,533 | -1,935,731 |
