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 6,832,903, 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 | 6,832,903 | |
| -1 | -6,832,903 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,832,903.
Example:
1 x 6,832,903 = 6,832,903
and
-1 x -6,832,903 = 6,832,903
Notice both answers equal 6,832,903
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,832,903 and divide it by 2:
6,832,903 ÷ 2 = 3,416,451.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,416,451.5 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 | 6,832,903 | |
| -1 | -6,832,903 |
Now, we try dividing 6,832,903 by 3:
6,832,903 ÷ 3 = 2,277,634.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,277,634.3333 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 | 6,832,903 | |
| -1 | -6,832,903 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,832,903 ÷ 4 = 1,708,225.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,708,225.75 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 | 6,832,903 | |
| -1 | 6,832,903 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 343 | 539 | 1,811 | 3,773 | 12,677 | 19,921 | 88,739 | 139,447 | 621,173 | 976,129 | 6,832,903 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -343 | -539 | -1,811 | -3,773 | -12,677 | -19,921 | -88,739 | -139,447 | -621,173 | -976,129 | -6,832,903 |
