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 6,251,699, 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 | 6,251,699 | |
| -1 | -6,251,699 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,251,699.
Example:
1 x 6,251,699 = 6,251,699
and
-1 x -6,251,699 = 6,251,699
Notice both answers equal 6,251,699
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,251,699 and divide it by 2:
6,251,699 ÷ 2 = 3,125,849.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,125,849.5 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 | 6,251,699 | |
| -1 | -6,251,699 |
Now, we try dividing 6,251,699 by 3:
6,251,699 ÷ 3 = 2,083,899.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,083,899.6667 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 | 6,251,699 | |
| -1 | -6,251,699 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,251,699 ÷ 4 = 1,562,924.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,562,924.75 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 | 6,251,699 | |
| -1 | 6,251,699 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 59 | 271 | 391 | 1,003 | 1,357 | 4,607 | 6,233 | 15,989 | 23,069 | 105,961 | 271,813 | 367,747 | 6,251,699 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -59 | -271 | -391 | -1,003 | -1,357 | -4,607 | -6,233 | -15,989 | -23,069 | -105,961 | -271,813 | -367,747 | -6,251,699 |
