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 7,110,857, 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 | 7,110,857 | |
| -1 | -7,110,857 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,110,857.
Example:
1 x 7,110,857 = 7,110,857
and
-1 x -7,110,857 = 7,110,857
Notice both answers equal 7,110,857
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,110,857 and divide it by 2:
7,110,857 ÷ 2 = 3,555,428.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,555,428.5 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 | 7,110,857 | |
| -1 | -7,110,857 |
Now, we try dividing 7,110,857 by 3:
7,110,857 ÷ 3 = 2,370,285.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,370,285.6667 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 | 7,110,857 | |
| -1 | -7,110,857 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,110,857 ÷ 4 = 1,777,714.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,777,714.25 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 | 7,110,857 | |
| -1 | 7,110,857 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 73 | 127 | 767 | 949 | 1,651 | 4,307 | 7,493 | 9,271 | 55,991 | 97,409 | 120,523 | 546,989 | 7,110,857 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -73 | -127 | -767 | -949 | -1,651 | -4,307 | -7,493 | -9,271 | -55,991 | -97,409 | -120,523 | -546,989 | -7,110,857 |
