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 6,727,403, 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 | 6,727,403 | |
| -1 | -6,727,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,727,403.
Example:
1 x 6,727,403 = 6,727,403
and
-1 x -6,727,403 = 6,727,403
Notice both answers equal 6,727,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,727,403 and divide it by 2:
6,727,403 ÷ 2 = 3,363,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,363,701.5 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 | 6,727,403 | |
| -1 | -6,727,403 |
Now, we try dividing 6,727,403 by 3:
6,727,403 ÷ 3 = 2,242,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,242,467.6667 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 | 6,727,403 | |
| -1 | -6,727,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,727,403 ÷ 4 = 1,681,850.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,681,850.75 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 | 6,727,403 | |
| -1 | 6,727,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 41 | 67 | 79 | 1,271 | 2,077 | 2,449 | 2,747 | 3,239 | 5,293 | 85,157 | 100,409 | 164,083 | 217,013 | 6,727,403 |
| -1 | -31 | -41 | -67 | -79 | -1,271 | -2,077 | -2,449 | -2,747 | -3,239 | -5,293 | -85,157 | -100,409 | -164,083 | -217,013 | -6,727,403 |
