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 6,866,951, 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 | 6,866,951 | |
| -1 | -6,866,951 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,866,951.
Example:
1 x 6,866,951 = 6,866,951
and
-1 x -6,866,951 = 6,866,951
Notice both answers equal 6,866,951
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,866,951 and divide it by 2:
6,866,951 ÷ 2 = 3,433,475.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,433,475.5 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 | 6,866,951 | |
| -1 | -6,866,951 |
Now, we try dividing 6,866,951 by 3:
6,866,951 ÷ 3 = 2,288,983.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,288,983.6667 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 | 6,866,951 | |
| -1 | -6,866,951 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,866,951 ÷ 4 = 1,716,737.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,716,737.75 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 | 6,866,951 | |
| -1 | 6,866,951 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 59 | 91 | 413 | 767 | 1,279 | 5,369 | 8,953 | 16,627 | 75,461 | 116,389 | 528,227 | 980,993 | 6,866,951 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -59 | -91 | -413 | -767 | -1,279 | -5,369 | -8,953 | -16,627 | -75,461 | -116,389 | -528,227 | -980,993 | -6,866,951 |
