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 6,073,403, 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 | 6,073,403 | |
| -1 | -6,073,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,073,403.
Example:
1 x 6,073,403 = 6,073,403
and
-1 x -6,073,403 = 6,073,403
Notice both answers equal 6,073,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,073,403 and divide it by 2:
6,073,403 ÷ 2 = 3,036,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,036,701.5 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 | 6,073,403 | |
| -1 | -6,073,403 |
Now, we try dividing 6,073,403 by 3:
6,073,403 ÷ 3 = 2,024,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,024,467.6667 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 | 6,073,403 | |
| -1 | -6,073,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,073,403 ÷ 4 = 1,518,350.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,518,350.75 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 | 6,073,403 | |
| -1 | 6,073,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 23 | 49 | 119 | 161 | 317 | 391 | 833 | 1,127 | 2,219 | 2,737 | 5,389 | 7,291 | 15,533 | 19,159 | 37,723 | 51,037 | 123,947 | 264,061 | 357,259 | 867,629 | 6,073,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -23 | -49 | -119 | -161 | -317 | -391 | -833 | -1,127 | -2,219 | -2,737 | -5,389 | -7,291 | -15,533 | -19,159 | -37,723 | -51,037 | -123,947 | -264,061 | -357,259 | -867,629 | -6,073,403 |
