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 7,049,237, 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 | 7,049,237 | |
| -1 | -7,049,237 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,049,237.
Example:
1 x 7,049,237 = 7,049,237
and
-1 x -7,049,237 = 7,049,237
Notice both answers equal 7,049,237
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,049,237 and divide it by 2:
7,049,237 ÷ 2 = 3,524,618.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,524,618.5 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 | 7,049,237 | |
| -1 | -7,049,237 |
Now, we try dividing 7,049,237 by 3:
7,049,237 ÷ 3 = 2,349,745.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,349,745.6667 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 | 7,049,237 | |
| -1 | -7,049,237 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,049,237 ÷ 4 = 1,762,309.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,762,309.25 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 | 7,049,237 | |
| -1 | 7,049,237 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 167 | 191 | 221 | 2,171 | 2,483 | 2,839 | 3,247 | 31,897 | 36,907 | 42,211 | 414,661 | 542,249 | 7,049,237 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -167 | -191 | -221 | -2,171 | -2,483 | -2,839 | -3,247 | -31,897 | -36,907 | -42,211 | -414,661 | -542,249 | -7,049,237 |
