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 7,263,607, 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 | 7,263,607 | |
| -1 | -7,263,607 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,263,607.
Example:
1 x 7,263,607 = 7,263,607
and
-1 x -7,263,607 = 7,263,607
Notice both answers equal 7,263,607
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,263,607 and divide it by 2:
7,263,607 ÷ 2 = 3,631,803.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,631,803.5 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 | 7,263,607 | |
| -1 | -7,263,607 |
Now, we try dividing 7,263,607 by 3:
7,263,607 ÷ 3 = 2,421,202.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,421,202.3333 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 | 7,263,607 | |
| -1 | -7,263,607 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,263,607 ÷ 4 = 1,815,901.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,815,901.75 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 | 7,263,607 | |
| -1 | 7,263,607 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 23 | 221 | 299 | 391 | 1,429 | 5,083 | 18,577 | 24,293 | 32,867 | 315,809 | 427,271 | 558,739 | 7,263,607 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -23 | -221 | -299 | -391 | -1,429 | -5,083 | -18,577 | -24,293 | -32,867 | -315,809 | -427,271 | -558,739 | -7,263,607 |
