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 6,482,333, 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 | 6,482,333 | |
| -1 | -6,482,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,482,333.
Example:
1 x 6,482,333 = 6,482,333
and
-1 x -6,482,333 = 6,482,333
Notice both answers equal 6,482,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,482,333 and divide it by 2:
6,482,333 ÷ 2 = 3,241,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,241,166.5 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 | 6,482,333 | |
| -1 | -6,482,333 |
Now, we try dividing 6,482,333 by 3:
6,482,333 ÷ 3 = 2,160,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,160,777.6667 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 | 6,482,333 | |
| -1 | -6,482,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,482,333 ÷ 4 = 1,620,583.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,620,583.25 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 | 6,482,333 | |
| -1 | 6,482,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 121 | 143 | 169 | 317 | 1,573 | 1,859 | 3,487 | 4,121 | 20,449 | 38,357 | 45,331 | 53,573 | 498,641 | 589,303 | 6,482,333 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -121 | -143 | -169 | -317 | -1,573 | -1,859 | -3,487 | -4,121 | -20,449 | -38,357 | -45,331 | -53,573 | -498,641 | -589,303 | -6,482,333 |
