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 6,355,015, 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 | 6,355,015 | |
| -1 | -6,355,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,355,015.
Example:
1 x 6,355,015 = 6,355,015
and
-1 x -6,355,015 = 6,355,015
Notice both answers equal 6,355,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,355,015 and divide it by 2:
6,355,015 ÷ 2 = 3,177,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,177,507.5 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 | 6,355,015 | |
| -1 | -6,355,015 |
Now, we try dividing 6,355,015 by 3:
6,355,015 ÷ 3 = 2,118,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,118,338.3333 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 | 6,355,015 | |
| -1 | -6,355,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,355,015 ÷ 4 = 1,588,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,588,753.75 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 | 6,355,015 | |
| -1 | 6,355,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 73 | 115 | 365 | 757 | 1,679 | 3,785 | 8,395 | 17,411 | 55,261 | 87,055 | 276,305 | 1,271,003 | 6,355,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -73 | -115 | -365 | -757 | -1,679 | -3,785 | -8,395 | -17,411 | -55,261 | -87,055 | -276,305 | -1,271,003 | -6,355,015 |
