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 6,646,333, 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 | 6,646,333 | |
| -1 | -6,646,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,646,333.
Example:
1 x 6,646,333 = 6,646,333
and
-1 x -6,646,333 = 6,646,333
Notice both answers equal 6,646,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,646,333 and divide it by 2:
6,646,333 ÷ 2 = 3,323,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,323,166.5 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 | 6,646,333 | |
| -1 | -6,646,333 |
Now, we try dividing 6,646,333 by 3:
6,646,333 ÷ 3 = 2,215,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,215,444.3333 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 | 6,646,333 | |
| -1 | -6,646,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,646,333 ÷ 4 = 1,661,583.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,661,583.25 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 | 6,646,333 | |
| -1 | 6,646,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 67 | 227 | 437 | 1,273 | 1,541 | 4,313 | 5,221 | 15,209 | 29,279 | 99,199 | 288,971 | 349,807 | 6,646,333 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -67 | -227 | -437 | -1,273 | -1,541 | -4,313 | -5,221 | -15,209 | -29,279 | -99,199 | -288,971 | -349,807 | -6,646,333 |
