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 6,200,495, 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 | 6,200,495 | |
| -1 | -6,200,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,200,495.
Example:
1 x 6,200,495 = 6,200,495
and
-1 x -6,200,495 = 6,200,495
Notice both answers equal 6,200,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,200,495 and divide it by 2:
6,200,495 ÷ 2 = 3,100,247.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,100,247.5 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 | 6,200,495 | |
| -1 | -6,200,495 |
Now, we try dividing 6,200,495 by 3:
6,200,495 ÷ 3 = 2,066,831.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,066,831.6667 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 | 6,200,495 | |
| -1 | -6,200,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,200,495 ÷ 4 = 1,550,123.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,550,123.75 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 | 6,200,495 | |
| -1 | 6,200,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 289 | 595 | 613 | 1,445 | 2,023 | 3,065 | 4,291 | 10,115 | 10,421 | 21,455 | 52,105 | 72,947 | 177,157 | 364,735 | 885,785 | 1,240,099 | 6,200,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -289 | -595 | -613 | -1,445 | -2,023 | -3,065 | -4,291 | -10,115 | -10,421 | -21,455 | -52,105 | -72,947 | -177,157 | -364,735 | -885,785 | -1,240,099 | -6,200,495 |
