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 1,144,451, 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 | 1,144,451 | |
| -1 | -1,144,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,144,451.
Example:
1 x 1,144,451 = 1,144,451
and
-1 x -1,144,451 = 1,144,451
Notice both answers equal 1,144,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,144,451 and divide it by 2:
1,144,451 ÷ 2 = 572,225.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 572,225.5 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 | 1,144,451 | |
| -1 | -1,144,451 |
Now, we try dividing 1,144,451 by 3:
1,144,451 ÷ 3 = 381,483.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 381,483.6667 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 | 1,144,451 | |
| -1 | -1,144,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,144,451 ÷ 4 = 286,112.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 286,112.75 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 | 1,144,451 | |
| -1 | 1,144,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 89 | 167 | 623 | 979 | 1,169 | 1,837 | 6,853 | 12,859 | 14,863 | 104,041 | 163,493 | 1,144,451 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -89 | -167 | -623 | -979 | -1,169 | -1,837 | -6,853 | -12,859 | -14,863 | -104,041 | -163,493 | -1,144,451 |
