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 6,736,915, 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 | 6,736,915 | |
| -1 | -6,736,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,736,915.
Example:
1 x 6,736,915 = 6,736,915
and
-1 x -6,736,915 = 6,736,915
Notice both answers equal 6,736,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,736,915 and divide it by 2:
6,736,915 ÷ 2 = 3,368,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,368,457.5 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 | 6,736,915 | |
| -1 | -6,736,915 |
Now, we try dividing 6,736,915 by 3:
6,736,915 ÷ 3 = 2,245,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,245,638.3333 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 | 6,736,915 | |
| -1 | -6,736,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,736,915 ÷ 4 = 1,684,228.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,684,228.75 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 | 6,736,915 | |
| -1 | 6,736,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 59 | 205 | 295 | 557 | 2,419 | 2,785 | 12,095 | 22,837 | 32,863 | 114,185 | 164,315 | 1,347,383 | 6,736,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -59 | -205 | -295 | -557 | -2,419 | -2,785 | -12,095 | -22,837 | -32,863 | -114,185 | -164,315 | -1,347,383 | -6,736,915 |
