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 6,523,255, 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 | 6,523,255 | |
| -1 | -6,523,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,523,255.
Example:
1 x 6,523,255 = 6,523,255
and
-1 x -6,523,255 = 6,523,255
Notice both answers equal 6,523,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,523,255 and divide it by 2:
6,523,255 ÷ 2 = 3,261,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,261,627.5 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 | 6,523,255 | |
| -1 | -6,523,255 |
Now, we try dividing 6,523,255 by 3:
6,523,255 ÷ 3 = 2,174,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,174,418.3333 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 | 6,523,255 | |
| -1 | -6,523,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,523,255 ÷ 4 = 1,630,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,630,813.75 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 | 6,523,255 | |
| -1 | 6,523,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 89 | 107 | 137 | 445 | 535 | 685 | 9,523 | 12,193 | 14,659 | 47,615 | 60,965 | 73,295 | 1,304,651 | 6,523,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -89 | -107 | -137 | -445 | -535 | -685 | -9,523 | -12,193 | -14,659 | -47,615 | -60,965 | -73,295 | -1,304,651 | -6,523,255 |
