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 6,051,155, 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 | 6,051,155 | |
| -1 | -6,051,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,051,155.
Example:
1 x 6,051,155 = 6,051,155
and
-1 x -6,051,155 = 6,051,155
Notice both answers equal 6,051,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,051,155 and divide it by 2:
6,051,155 ÷ 2 = 3,025,577.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,025,577.5 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 | 6,051,155 | |
| -1 | -6,051,155 |
Now, we try dividing 6,051,155 by 3:
6,051,155 ÷ 3 = 2,017,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,017,051.6667 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 | 6,051,155 | |
| -1 | -6,051,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,051,155 ÷ 4 = 1,512,788.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,512,788.75 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 | 6,051,155 | |
| -1 | 6,051,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 269 | 409 | 1,345 | 2,045 | 2,959 | 4,499 | 14,795 | 22,495 | 110,021 | 550,105 | 1,210,231 | 6,051,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -269 | -409 | -1,345 | -2,045 | -2,959 | -4,499 | -14,795 | -22,495 | -110,021 | -550,105 | -1,210,231 | -6,051,155 |
