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 7,162,015, 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 | 7,162,015 | |
| -1 | -7,162,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,162,015.
Example:
1 x 7,162,015 = 7,162,015
and
-1 x -7,162,015 = 7,162,015
Notice both answers equal 7,162,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,162,015 and divide it by 2:
7,162,015 ÷ 2 = 3,581,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,581,007.5 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 | 7,162,015 | |
| -1 | -7,162,015 |
Now, we try dividing 7,162,015 by 3:
7,162,015 ÷ 3 = 2,387,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,387,338.3333 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 | 7,162,015 | |
| -1 | -7,162,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,162,015 ÷ 4 = 1,790,503.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,790,503.75 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 | 7,162,015 | |
| -1 | 7,162,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 12,037 | 60,185 | 84,259 | 204,629 | 421,295 | 1,023,145 | 1,432,403 | 7,162,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -12,037 | -60,185 | -84,259 | -204,629 | -421,295 | -1,023,145 | -1,432,403 | -7,162,015 |
