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 6,992,875, 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 | 6,992,875 | |
| -1 | -6,992,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 6,992,875.
Example:
1 x 6,992,875 = 6,992,875
and
-1 x -6,992,875 = 6,992,875
Notice both answers equal 6,992,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 6,992,875 and divide it by 2:
6,992,875 ÷ 2 = 3,496,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,496,437.5 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 | 6,992,875 | |
| -1 | -6,992,875 |
Now, we try dividing 6,992,875 by 3:
6,992,875 ÷ 3 = 2,330,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,330,958.3333 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 | 6,992,875 | |
| -1 | -6,992,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
6,992,875 ÷ 4 = 1,748,218.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,748,218.75 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 | 6,992,875 | |
| -1 | 6,992,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 43 | 125 | 215 | 1,075 | 1,301 | 5,375 | 6,505 | 32,525 | 55,943 | 162,625 | 279,715 | 1,398,575 | 6,992,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -43 | -125 | -215 | -1,075 | -1,301 | -5,375 | -6,505 | -32,525 | -55,943 | -162,625 | -279,715 | -1,398,575 | -6,992,875 |
