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 7,244,875, 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 | 7,244,875 | |
| -1 | -7,244,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,244,875.
Example:
1 x 7,244,875 = 7,244,875
and
-1 x -7,244,875 = 7,244,875
Notice both answers equal 7,244,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,244,875 and divide it by 2:
7,244,875 ÷ 2 = 3,622,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,622,437.5 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 | 7,244,875 | |
| -1 | -7,244,875 |
Now, we try dividing 7,244,875 by 3:
7,244,875 ÷ 3 = 2,414,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,414,958.3333 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 | 7,244,875 | |
| -1 | -7,244,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,244,875 ÷ 4 = 1,811,218.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,811,218.75 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 | 7,244,875 | |
| -1 | 7,244,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 121 | 125 | 275 | 479 | 605 | 1,375 | 2,395 | 3,025 | 5,269 | 11,975 | 15,125 | 26,345 | 57,959 | 59,875 | 131,725 | 289,795 | 658,625 | 1,448,975 | 7,244,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -121 | -125 | -275 | -479 | -605 | -1,375 | -2,395 | -3,025 | -5,269 | -11,975 | -15,125 | -26,345 | -57,959 | -59,875 | -131,725 | -289,795 | -658,625 | -1,448,975 | -7,244,875 |
