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 6,967,229, 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 | 6,967,229 | |
| -1 | -6,967,229 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,967,229.
Example:
1 x 6,967,229 = 6,967,229
and
-1 x -6,967,229 = 6,967,229
Notice both answers equal 6,967,229
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,967,229 and divide it by 2:
6,967,229 ÷ 2 = 3,483,614.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,483,614.5 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 | 6,967,229 | |
| -1 | -6,967,229 |
Now, we try dividing 6,967,229 by 3:
6,967,229 ÷ 3 = 2,322,409.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,322,409.6667 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 | 6,967,229 | |
| -1 | -6,967,229 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,967,229 ÷ 4 = 1,741,807.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,741,807.25 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 | 6,967,229 | |
| -1 | 6,967,229 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 103 | 173 | 391 | 1,751 | 2,369 | 2,941 | 3,979 | 17,819 | 40,273 | 67,643 | 302,923 | 409,837 | 6,967,229 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -103 | -173 | -391 | -1,751 | -2,369 | -2,941 | -3,979 | -17,819 | -40,273 | -67,643 | -302,923 | -409,837 | -6,967,229 |
