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 6,560,623, 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 | 6,560,623 | |
| -1 | -6,560,623 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,560,623.
Example:
1 x 6,560,623 = 6,560,623
and
-1 x -6,560,623 = 6,560,623
Notice both answers equal 6,560,623
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,560,623 and divide it by 2:
6,560,623 ÷ 2 = 3,280,311.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,280,311.5 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 | 6,560,623 | |
| -1 | -6,560,623 |
Now, we try dividing 6,560,623 by 3:
6,560,623 ÷ 3 = 2,186,874.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,186,874.3333 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 | 6,560,623 | |
| -1 | -6,560,623 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,560,623 ÷ 4 = 1,640,155.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,640,155.75 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 | 6,560,623 | |
| -1 | 6,560,623 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 59 | 211 | 527 | 1,003 | 1,829 | 3,587 | 6,541 | 12,449 | 31,093 | 111,197 | 211,633 | 385,919 | 6,560,623 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -59 | -211 | -527 | -1,003 | -1,829 | -3,587 | -6,541 | -12,449 | -31,093 | -111,197 | -211,633 | -385,919 | -6,560,623 |
