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 6,846,875, 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 | 6,846,875 | |
| -1 | -6,846,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,846,875.
Example:
1 x 6,846,875 = 6,846,875
and
-1 x -6,846,875 = 6,846,875
Notice both answers equal 6,846,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,846,875 and divide it by 2:
6,846,875 ÷ 2 = 3,423,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,423,437.5 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 | 6,846,875 | |
| -1 | -6,846,875 |
Now, we try dividing 6,846,875 by 3:
6,846,875 ÷ 3 = 2,282,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,282,291.6667 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 | 6,846,875 | |
| -1 | -6,846,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,846,875 ÷ 4 = 1,711,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,711,718.75 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 | 6,846,875 | |
| -1 | 6,846,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 125 | 175 | 313 | 625 | 875 | 1,565 | 2,191 | 3,125 | 4,375 | 7,825 | 10,955 | 21,875 | 39,125 | 54,775 | 195,625 | 273,875 | 978,125 | 1,369,375 | 6,846,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -125 | -175 | -313 | -625 | -875 | -1,565 | -2,191 | -3,125 | -4,375 | -7,825 | -10,955 | -21,875 | -39,125 | -54,775 | -195,625 | -273,875 | -978,125 | -1,369,375 | -6,846,875 |
