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 6,552,005, 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 | 6,552,005 | |
| -1 | -6,552,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,552,005.
Example:
1 x 6,552,005 = 6,552,005
and
-1 x -6,552,005 = 6,552,005
Notice both answers equal 6,552,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,552,005 and divide it by 2:
6,552,005 ÷ 2 = 3,276,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,276,002.5 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 | 6,552,005 | |
| -1 | -6,552,005 |
Now, we try dividing 6,552,005 by 3:
6,552,005 ÷ 3 = 2,184,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,184,001.6667 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 | 6,552,005 | |
| -1 | -6,552,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,552,005 ÷ 4 = 1,638,001.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,638,001.25 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 | 6,552,005 | |
| -1 | 6,552,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 41 | 155 | 205 | 1,031 | 1,271 | 5,155 | 6,355 | 31,961 | 42,271 | 159,805 | 211,355 | 1,310,401 | 6,552,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -41 | -155 | -205 | -1,031 | -1,271 | -5,155 | -6,355 | -31,961 | -42,271 | -159,805 | -211,355 | -1,310,401 | -6,552,005 |
