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 6,038,383, 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 | 6,038,383 | |
| -1 | -6,038,383 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,038,383.
Example:
1 x 6,038,383 = 6,038,383
and
-1 x -6,038,383 = 6,038,383
Notice both answers equal 6,038,383
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,038,383 and divide it by 2:
6,038,383 ÷ 2 = 3,019,191.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,019,191.5 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 | 6,038,383 | |
| -1 | -6,038,383 |
Now, we try dividing 6,038,383 by 3:
6,038,383 ÷ 3 = 2,012,794.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,012,794.3333 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 | 6,038,383 | |
| -1 | -6,038,383 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,038,383 ÷ 4 = 1,509,595.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,509,595.75 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 | 6,038,383 | |
| -1 | 6,038,383 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 89 | 221 | 307 | 1,157 | 1,513 | 3,991 | 5,219 | 19,669 | 27,323 | 67,847 | 355,199 | 464,491 | 6,038,383 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -89 | -221 | -307 | -1,157 | -1,513 | -3,991 | -5,219 | -19,669 | -27,323 | -67,847 | -355,199 | -464,491 | -6,038,383 |
