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 6,852,923, 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 | 6,852,923 | |
| -1 | -6,852,923 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,852,923.
Example:
1 x 6,852,923 = 6,852,923
and
-1 x -6,852,923 = 6,852,923
Notice both answers equal 6,852,923
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,852,923 and divide it by 2:
6,852,923 ÷ 2 = 3,426,461.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,426,461.5 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 | 6,852,923 | |
| -1 | -6,852,923 |
Now, we try dividing 6,852,923 by 3:
6,852,923 ÷ 3 = 2,284,307.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,284,307.6667 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 | 6,852,923 | |
| -1 | -6,852,923 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,852,923 ÷ 4 = 1,713,230.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,713,230.75 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 | 6,852,923 | |
| -1 | 6,852,923 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 61 | 77 | 427 | 671 | 1,459 | 4,697 | 10,213 | 16,049 | 88,999 | 112,343 | 622,993 | 978,989 | 6,852,923 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -61 | -77 | -427 | -671 | -1,459 | -4,697 | -10,213 | -16,049 | -88,999 | -112,343 | -622,993 | -978,989 | -6,852,923 |
