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 6,123,425, 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 | 6,123,425 | |
| -1 | -6,123,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,123,425.
Example:
1 x 6,123,425 = 6,123,425
and
-1 x -6,123,425 = 6,123,425
Notice both answers equal 6,123,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,123,425 and divide it by 2:
6,123,425 ÷ 2 = 3,061,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,061,712.5 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 | 6,123,425 | |
| -1 | -6,123,425 |
Now, we try dividing 6,123,425 by 3:
6,123,425 ÷ 3 = 2,041,141.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,041,141.6667 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 | 6,123,425 | |
| -1 | -6,123,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,123,425 ÷ 4 = 1,530,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,530,856.25 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 | 6,123,425 | |
| -1 | 6,123,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 25 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 175 | 275 | 385 | 1,925 | 3,181 | 15,905 | 22,267 | 34,991 | 79,525 | 111,335 | 174,955 | 244,937 | 556,675 | 874,775 | 1,224,685 | 6,123,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -25 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -175 | -275 | -385 | -1,925 | -3,181 | -15,905 | -22,267 | -34,991 | -79,525 | -111,335 | -174,955 | -244,937 | -556,675 | -874,775 | -1,224,685 | -6,123,425 |
