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 6,277,535, 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 | 6,277,535 | |
| -1 | -6,277,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,277,535.
Example:
1 x 6,277,535 = 6,277,535
and
-1 x -6,277,535 = 6,277,535
Notice both answers equal 6,277,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,277,535 and divide it by 2:
6,277,535 ÷ 2 = 3,138,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,138,767.5 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 | 6,277,535 | |
| -1 | -6,277,535 |
Now, we try dividing 6,277,535 by 3:
6,277,535 ÷ 3 = 2,092,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,092,511.6667 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 | 6,277,535 | |
| -1 | -6,277,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,277,535 ÷ 4 = 1,569,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,569,383.75 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 | 6,277,535 | |
| -1 | 6,277,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 311 | 367 | 1,555 | 1,835 | 3,421 | 4,037 | 17,105 | 20,185 | 114,137 | 570,685 | 1,255,507 | 6,277,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -311 | -367 | -1,555 | -1,835 | -3,421 | -4,037 | -17,105 | -20,185 | -114,137 | -570,685 | -1,255,507 | -6,277,535 |
