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 6,543,017, 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 | 6,543,017 | |
| -1 | -6,543,017 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,543,017.
Example:
1 x 6,543,017 = 6,543,017
and
-1 x -6,543,017 = 6,543,017
Notice both answers equal 6,543,017
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,543,017 and divide it by 2:
6,543,017 ÷ 2 = 3,271,508.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,271,508.5 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 | 6,543,017 | |
| -1 | -6,543,017 |
Now, we try dividing 6,543,017 by 3:
6,543,017 ÷ 3 = 2,181,005.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,181,005.6667 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 | 6,543,017 | |
| -1 | -6,543,017 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,543,017 ÷ 4 = 1,635,754.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,635,754.25 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 | 6,543,017 | |
| -1 | 6,543,017 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 79 | 277 | 299 | 1,027 | 1,817 | 3,601 | 6,371 | 21,883 | 23,621 | 82,823 | 284,479 | 503,309 | 6,543,017 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -79 | -277 | -299 | -1,027 | -1,817 | -3,601 | -6,371 | -21,883 | -23,621 | -82,823 | -284,479 | -503,309 | -6,543,017 |
