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 6,009,647, 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 | 6,009,647 | |
| -1 | -6,009,647 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,009,647.
Example:
1 x 6,009,647 = 6,009,647
and
-1 x -6,009,647 = 6,009,647
Notice both answers equal 6,009,647
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,009,647 and divide it by 2:
6,009,647 ÷ 2 = 3,004,823.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,004,823.5 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 | 6,009,647 | |
| -1 | -6,009,647 |
Now, we try dividing 6,009,647 by 3:
6,009,647 ÷ 3 = 2,003,215.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,003,215.6667 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 | 6,009,647 | |
| -1 | -6,009,647 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,009,647 ÷ 4 = 1,502,411.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,502,411.75 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 | 6,009,647 | |
| -1 | 6,009,647 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 161 | 163 | 229 | 1,141 | 1,603 | 3,749 | 5,267 | 26,243 | 36,869 | 37,327 | 261,289 | 858,521 | 6,009,647 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -161 | -163 | -229 | -1,141 | -1,603 | -3,749 | -5,267 | -26,243 | -36,869 | -37,327 | -261,289 | -858,521 | -6,009,647 |
