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 7,314,625, 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 | 7,314,625 | |
| -1 | -7,314,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,314,625.
Example:
1 x 7,314,625 = 7,314,625
and
-1 x -7,314,625 = 7,314,625
Notice both answers equal 7,314,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,314,625 and divide it by 2:
7,314,625 ÷ 2 = 3,657,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,657,312.5 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 | 7,314,625 | |
| -1 | -7,314,625 |
Now, we try dividing 7,314,625 by 3:
7,314,625 ÷ 3 = 2,438,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,438,208.3333 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 | 7,314,625 | |
| -1 | -7,314,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,314,625 ÷ 4 = 1,828,656.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,828,656.25 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 | 7,314,625 | |
| -1 | 7,314,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 163 | 359 | 815 | 1,795 | 4,075 | 8,975 | 20,375 | 44,875 | 58,517 | 292,585 | 1,462,925 | 7,314,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -163 | -359 | -815 | -1,795 | -4,075 | -8,975 | -20,375 | -44,875 | -58,517 | -292,585 | -1,462,925 | -7,314,625 |
