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 6,831,695, 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 | 6,831,695 | |
| -1 | -6,831,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,831,695.
Example:
1 x 6,831,695 = 6,831,695
and
-1 x -6,831,695 = 6,831,695
Notice both answers equal 6,831,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,831,695 and divide it by 2:
6,831,695 ÷ 2 = 3,415,847.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,415,847.5 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 | 6,831,695 | |
| -1 | -6,831,695 |
Now, we try dividing 6,831,695 by 3:
6,831,695 ÷ 3 = 2,277,231.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,277,231.6667 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 | 6,831,695 | |
| -1 | -6,831,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,831,695 ÷ 4 = 1,707,923.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,707,923.75 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 | 6,831,695 | |
| -1 | 6,831,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 61 | 65 | 305 | 793 | 1,723 | 3,965 | 8,615 | 22,399 | 105,103 | 111,995 | 525,515 | 1,366,339 | 6,831,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -61 | -65 | -305 | -793 | -1,723 | -3,965 | -8,615 | -22,399 | -105,103 | -111,995 | -525,515 | -1,366,339 | -6,831,695 |
