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 7,034,617, 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 | 7,034,617 | |
| -1 | -7,034,617 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,034,617.
Example:
1 x 7,034,617 = 7,034,617
and
-1 x -7,034,617 = 7,034,617
Notice both answers equal 7,034,617
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,034,617 and divide it by 2:
7,034,617 ÷ 2 = 3,517,308.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,517,308.5 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 | 7,034,617 | |
| -1 | -7,034,617 |
Now, we try dividing 7,034,617 by 3:
7,034,617 ÷ 3 = 2,344,872.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,344,872.3333 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 | 7,034,617 | |
| -1 | -7,034,617 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,034,617 ÷ 4 = 1,758,654.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,758,654.25 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 | 7,034,617 | |
| -1 | 7,034,617 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 29 | 323 | 493 | 551 | 751 | 9,367 | 12,767 | 14,269 | 21,779 | 242,573 | 370,243 | 413,801 | 7,034,617 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -29 | -323 | -493 | -551 | -751 | -9,367 | -12,767 | -14,269 | -21,779 | -242,573 | -370,243 | -413,801 | -7,034,617 |
