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 6,382,735, 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 | 6,382,735 | |
| -1 | -6,382,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,382,735.
Example:
1 x 6,382,735 = 6,382,735
and
-1 x -6,382,735 = 6,382,735
Notice both answers equal 6,382,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,382,735 and divide it by 2:
6,382,735 ÷ 2 = 3,191,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,191,367.5 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 | 6,382,735 | |
| -1 | -6,382,735 |
Now, we try dividing 6,382,735 by 3:
6,382,735 ÷ 3 = 2,127,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,127,578.3333 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 | 6,382,735 | |
| -1 | -6,382,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,382,735 ÷ 4 = 1,595,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,595,683.75 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 | 6,382,735 | |
| -1 | 6,382,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 61 | 85 | 305 | 1,037 | 1,231 | 5,185 | 6,155 | 20,927 | 75,091 | 104,635 | 375,455 | 1,276,547 | 6,382,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -61 | -85 | -305 | -1,037 | -1,231 | -5,185 | -6,155 | -20,927 | -75,091 | -104,635 | -375,455 | -1,276,547 | -6,382,735 |
