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 6,947,725, 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 | 6,947,725 | |
| -1 | -6,947,725 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,947,725.
Example:
1 x 6,947,725 = 6,947,725
and
-1 x -6,947,725 = 6,947,725
Notice both answers equal 6,947,725
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,947,725 and divide it by 2:
6,947,725 ÷ 2 = 3,473,862.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,473,862.5 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 | 6,947,725 | |
| -1 | -6,947,725 |
Now, we try dividing 6,947,725 by 3:
6,947,725 ÷ 3 = 2,315,908.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,315,908.3333 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 | 6,947,725 | |
| -1 | -6,947,725 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,947,725 ÷ 4 = 1,736,931.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,736,931.25 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 | 6,947,725 | |
| -1 | 6,947,725 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 43 | 115 | 215 | 281 | 575 | 989 | 1,075 | 1,405 | 4,945 | 6,463 | 7,025 | 12,083 | 24,725 | 32,315 | 60,415 | 161,575 | 277,909 | 302,075 | 1,389,545 | 6,947,725 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -43 | -115 | -215 | -281 | -575 | -989 | -1,075 | -1,405 | -4,945 | -6,463 | -7,025 | -12,083 | -24,725 | -32,315 | -60,415 | -161,575 | -277,909 | -302,075 | -1,389,545 | -6,947,725 |
