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 1,012,865, 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 | 1,012,865 | |
| -1 | -1,012,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,012,865.
Example:
1 x 1,012,865 = 1,012,865
and
-1 x -1,012,865 = 1,012,865
Notice both answers equal 1,012,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,012,865 and divide it by 2:
1,012,865 ÷ 2 = 506,432.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 506,432.5 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 | 1,012,865 | |
| -1 | -1,012,865 |
Now, we try dividing 1,012,865 by 3:
1,012,865 ÷ 3 = 337,621.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 337,621.6667 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 | 1,012,865 | |
| -1 | -1,012,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,012,865 ÷ 4 = 253,216.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 253,216.25 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 | 1,012,865 | |
| -1 | 1,012,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 673 | 1,505 | 3,365 | 4,711 | 23,555 | 28,939 | 144,695 | 202,573 | 1,012,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -673 | -1,505 | -3,365 | -4,711 | -23,555 | -28,939 | -144,695 | -202,573 | -1,012,865 |
