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 1,956,311, 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 | 1,956,311 | |
| -1 | -1,956,311 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,956,311.
Example:
1 x 1,956,311 = 1,956,311
and
-1 x -1,956,311 = 1,956,311
Notice both answers equal 1,956,311
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,956,311 and divide it by 2:
1,956,311 ÷ 2 = 978,155.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 978,155.5 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 | 1,956,311 | |
| -1 | -1,956,311 |
Now, we try dividing 1,956,311 by 3:
1,956,311 ÷ 3 = 652,103.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 652,103.6667 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 | 1,956,311 | |
| -1 | -1,956,311 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,956,311 ÷ 4 = 489,077.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 489,077.75 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 | 1,956,311 | |
| -1 | 1,956,311 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 29 | 161 | 203 | 419 | 667 | 2,933 | 4,669 | 9,637 | 12,151 | 67,459 | 85,057 | 279,473 | 1,956,311 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -29 | -161 | -203 | -419 | -667 | -2,933 | -4,669 | -9,637 | -12,151 | -67,459 | -85,057 | -279,473 | -1,956,311 |
