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 6,702,539, 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 | 6,702,539 | |
| -1 | -6,702,539 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,702,539.
Example:
1 x 6,702,539 = 6,702,539
and
-1 x -6,702,539 = 6,702,539
Notice both answers equal 6,702,539
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,702,539 and divide it by 2:
6,702,539 ÷ 2 = 3,351,269.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,351,269.5 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 | 6,702,539 | |
| -1 | -6,702,539 |
Now, we try dividing 6,702,539 by 3:
6,702,539 ÷ 3 = 2,234,179.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,234,179.6667 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 | 6,702,539 | |
| -1 | -6,702,539 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,702,539 ÷ 4 = 1,675,634.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,675,634.75 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 | 6,702,539 | |
| -1 | 6,702,539 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 53 | 173 | 731 | 901 | 2,279 | 2,941 | 7,439 | 9,169 | 38,743 | 126,463 | 155,873 | 394,267 | 6,702,539 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -53 | -173 | -731 | -901 | -2,279 | -2,941 | -7,439 | -9,169 | -38,743 | -126,463 | -155,873 | -394,267 | -6,702,539 |
