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 6,299,435, 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 | 6,299,435 | |
| -1 | -6,299,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,299,435.
Example:
1 x 6,299,435 = 6,299,435
and
-1 x -6,299,435 = 6,299,435
Notice both answers equal 6,299,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,299,435 and divide it by 2:
6,299,435 ÷ 2 = 3,149,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,149,717.5 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 | 6,299,435 | |
| -1 | -6,299,435 |
Now, we try dividing 6,299,435 by 3:
6,299,435 ÷ 3 = 2,099,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,099,811.6667 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 | 6,299,435 | |
| -1 | -6,299,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,299,435 ÷ 4 = 1,574,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,574,858.75 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 | 6,299,435 | |
| -1 | 6,299,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 37 | 85 | 185 | 629 | 2,003 | 3,145 | 10,015 | 34,051 | 74,111 | 170,255 | 370,555 | 1,259,887 | 6,299,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -37 | -85 | -185 | -629 | -2,003 | -3,145 | -10,015 | -34,051 | -74,111 | -170,255 | -370,555 | -1,259,887 | -6,299,435 |
