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 7,309,357, 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 | 7,309,357 | |
| -1 | -7,309,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,309,357.
Example:
1 x 7,309,357 = 7,309,357
and
-1 x -7,309,357 = 7,309,357
Notice both answers equal 7,309,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,309,357 and divide it by 2:
7,309,357 ÷ 2 = 3,654,678.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,654,678.5 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 | 7,309,357 | |
| -1 | -7,309,357 |
Now, we try dividing 7,309,357 by 3:
7,309,357 ÷ 3 = 2,436,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,436,452.3333 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 | 7,309,357 | |
| -1 | -7,309,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,309,357 ÷ 4 = 1,827,339.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,827,339.25 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 | 7,309,357 | |
| -1 | 7,309,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 41 | 209 | 451 | 779 | 853 | 8,569 | 9,383 | 16,207 | 34,973 | 178,277 | 384,703 | 664,487 | 7,309,357 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -41 | -209 | -451 | -779 | -853 | -8,569 | -9,383 | -16,207 | -34,973 | -178,277 | -384,703 | -664,487 | -7,309,357 |
