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 6,020,645, 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 | 6,020,645 | |
| -1 | -6,020,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,020,645.
Example:
1 x 6,020,645 = 6,020,645
and
-1 x -6,020,645 = 6,020,645
Notice both answers equal 6,020,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,020,645 and divide it by 2:
6,020,645 ÷ 2 = 3,010,322.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,010,322.5 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 | 6,020,645 | |
| -1 | -6,020,645 |
Now, we try dividing 6,020,645 by 3:
6,020,645 ÷ 3 = 2,006,881.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,006,881.6667 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 | 6,020,645 | |
| -1 | -6,020,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,020,645 ÷ 4 = 1,505,161.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,505,161.25 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 | 6,020,645 | |
| -1 | 6,020,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 43 | 205 | 215 | 683 | 1,763 | 3,415 | 8,815 | 28,003 | 29,369 | 140,015 | 146,845 | 1,204,129 | 6,020,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -43 | -205 | -215 | -683 | -1,763 | -3,415 | -8,815 | -28,003 | -29,369 | -140,015 | -146,845 | -1,204,129 | -6,020,645 |
