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 1,514,615, 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 | 1,514,615 | |
| -1 | -1,514,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,514,615.
Example:
1 x 1,514,615 = 1,514,615
and
-1 x -1,514,615 = 1,514,615
Notice both answers equal 1,514,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,514,615 and divide it by 2:
1,514,615 ÷ 2 = 757,307.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 757,307.5 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 | 1,514,615 | |
| -1 | -1,514,615 |
Now, we try dividing 1,514,615 by 3:
1,514,615 ÷ 3 = 504,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 504,871.6667 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 | 1,514,615 | |
| -1 | -1,514,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,514,615 ÷ 4 = 378,653.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 378,653.75 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 | 1,514,615 | |
| -1 | 1,514,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 103 | 173 | 515 | 865 | 1,751 | 2,941 | 8,755 | 14,705 | 17,819 | 89,095 | 302,923 | 1,514,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -103 | -173 | -515 | -865 | -1,751 | -2,941 | -8,755 | -14,705 | -17,819 | -89,095 | -302,923 | -1,514,615 |
