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 1,942,915, 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 | 1,942,915 | |
| -1 | -1,942,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,942,915.
Example:
1 x 1,942,915 = 1,942,915
and
-1 x -1,942,915 = 1,942,915
Notice both answers equal 1,942,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,942,915 and divide it by 2:
1,942,915 ÷ 2 = 971,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 971,457.5 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 | 1,942,915 | |
| -1 | -1,942,915 |
Now, we try dividing 1,942,915 by 3:
1,942,915 ÷ 3 = 647,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 647,638.3333 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 | 1,942,915 | |
| -1 | -1,942,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,942,915 ÷ 4 = 485,728.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 485,728.75 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 | 1,942,915 | |
| -1 | 1,942,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 71 | 355 | 421 | 923 | 2,105 | 4,615 | 5,473 | 27,365 | 29,891 | 149,455 | 388,583 | 1,942,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -71 | -355 | -421 | -923 | -2,105 | -4,615 | -5,473 | -27,365 | -29,891 | -149,455 | -388,583 | -1,942,915 |
