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 6,482,255, 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 | 6,482,255 | |
| -1 | -6,482,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,482,255.
Example:
1 x 6,482,255 = 6,482,255
and
-1 x -6,482,255 = 6,482,255
Notice both answers equal 6,482,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,482,255 and divide it by 2:
6,482,255 ÷ 2 = 3,241,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,241,127.5 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 | 6,482,255 | |
| -1 | -6,482,255 |
Now, we try dividing 6,482,255 by 3:
6,482,255 ÷ 3 = 2,160,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,160,751.6667 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 | 6,482,255 | |
| -1 | -6,482,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,482,255 ÷ 4 = 1,620,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,620,563.75 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 | 6,482,255 | |
| -1 | 6,482,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 2,015 | 3,217 | 16,085 | 41,821 | 99,727 | 209,105 | 498,635 | 1,296,451 | 6,482,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -2,015 | -3,217 | -16,085 | -41,821 | -99,727 | -209,105 | -498,635 | -1,296,451 | -6,482,255 |
