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 6,012,167, 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 | 6,012,167 | |
| -1 | -6,012,167 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,012,167.
Example:
1 x 6,012,167 = 6,012,167
and
-1 x -6,012,167 = 6,012,167
Notice both answers equal 6,012,167
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,012,167 and divide it by 2:
6,012,167 ÷ 2 = 3,006,083.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,006,083.5 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 | 6,012,167 | |
| -1 | -6,012,167 |
Now, we try dividing 6,012,167 by 3:
6,012,167 ÷ 3 = 2,004,055.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,004,055.6667 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 | 6,012,167 | |
| -1 | -6,012,167 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,012,167 ÷ 4 = 1,503,041.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,503,041.75 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 | 6,012,167 | |
| -1 | 6,012,167 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 139 | 167 | 259 | 973 | 1,169 | 5,143 | 6,179 | 23,213 | 36,001 | 43,253 | 162,491 | 858,881 | 6,012,167 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -139 | -167 | -259 | -973 | -1,169 | -5,143 | -6,179 | -23,213 | -36,001 | -43,253 | -162,491 | -858,881 | -6,012,167 |
