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 6,024,205, 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 | 6,024,205 | |
| -1 | -6,024,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,024,205.
Example:
1 x 6,024,205 = 6,024,205
and
-1 x -6,024,205 = 6,024,205
Notice both answers equal 6,024,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,024,205 and divide it by 2:
6,024,205 ÷ 2 = 3,012,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,012,102.5 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 | 6,024,205 | |
| -1 | -6,024,205 |
Now, we try dividing 6,024,205 by 3:
6,024,205 ÷ 3 = 2,008,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,008,068.3333 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 | 6,024,205 | |
| -1 | -6,024,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,024,205 ÷ 4 = 1,506,051.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,506,051.25 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 | 6,024,205 | |
| -1 | 6,024,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 289 | 379 | 935 | 1,445 | 1,895 | 3,179 | 4,169 | 6,443 | 15,895 | 20,845 | 32,215 | 70,873 | 109,531 | 354,365 | 547,655 | 1,204,841 | 6,024,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -289 | -379 | -935 | -1,445 | -1,895 | -3,179 | -4,169 | -6,443 | -15,895 | -20,845 | -32,215 | -70,873 | -109,531 | -354,365 | -547,655 | -1,204,841 | -6,024,205 |
