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 6,877,297, 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 | 6,877,297 | |
| -1 | -6,877,297 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,877,297.
Example:
1 x 6,877,297 = 6,877,297
and
-1 x -6,877,297 = 6,877,297
Notice both answers equal 6,877,297
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,877,297 and divide it by 2:
6,877,297 ÷ 2 = 3,438,648.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,438,648.5 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 | 6,877,297 | |
| -1 | -6,877,297 |
Now, we try dividing 6,877,297 by 3:
6,877,297 ÷ 3 = 2,292,432.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,292,432.3333 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 | 6,877,297 | |
| -1 | -6,877,297 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,877,297 ÷ 4 = 1,719,324.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,719,324.25 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 | 6,877,297 | |
| -1 | 6,877,297 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 83 | 89 | 133 | 581 | 623 | 931 | 1,577 | 1,691 | 4,067 | 4,361 | 7,387 | 11,039 | 11,837 | 51,709 | 77,273 | 82,859 | 140,353 | 361,963 | 982,471 | 6,877,297 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -83 | -89 | -133 | -581 | -623 | -931 | -1,577 | -1,691 | -4,067 | -4,361 | -7,387 | -11,039 | -11,837 | -51,709 | -77,273 | -82,859 | -140,353 | -361,963 | -982,471 | -6,877,297 |
