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 7,088,653, 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 | 7,088,653 | |
| -1 | -7,088,653 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,088,653.
Example:
1 x 7,088,653 = 7,088,653
and
-1 x -7,088,653 = 7,088,653
Notice both answers equal 7,088,653
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,088,653 and divide it by 2:
7,088,653 ÷ 2 = 3,544,326.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,544,326.5 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 | 7,088,653 | |
| -1 | -7,088,653 |
Now, we try dividing 7,088,653 by 3:
7,088,653 ÷ 3 = 2,362,884.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,362,884.3333 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 | 7,088,653 | |
| -1 | -7,088,653 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,088,653 ÷ 4 = 1,772,163.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,772,163.25 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 | 7,088,653 | |
| -1 | 7,088,653 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 19 | 143 | 209 | 247 | 2,609 | 2,717 | 28,699 | 33,917 | 49,571 | 373,087 | 545,281 | 644,423 | 7,088,653 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -19 | -143 | -209 | -247 | -2,609 | -2,717 | -28,699 | -33,917 | -49,571 | -373,087 | -545,281 | -644,423 | -7,088,653 |
