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 6,617,435, 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 | 6,617,435 | |
| -1 | -6,617,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,617,435.
Example:
1 x 6,617,435 = 6,617,435
and
-1 x -6,617,435 = 6,617,435
Notice both answers equal 6,617,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,617,435 and divide it by 2:
6,617,435 ÷ 2 = 3,308,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,308,717.5 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 | 6,617,435 | |
| -1 | -6,617,435 |
Now, we try dividing 6,617,435 by 3:
6,617,435 ÷ 3 = 2,205,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,205,811.6667 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 | 6,617,435 | |
| -1 | -6,617,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,617,435 ÷ 4 = 1,654,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,654,358.75 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 | 6,617,435 | |
| -1 | 6,617,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 79 | 395 | 869 | 1,523 | 4,345 | 7,615 | 16,753 | 83,765 | 120,317 | 601,585 | 1,323,487 | 6,617,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -79 | -395 | -869 | -1,523 | -4,345 | -7,615 | -16,753 | -83,765 | -120,317 | -601,585 | -1,323,487 | -6,617,435 |
