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 7,315,315, 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 | 7,315,315 | |
| -1 | -7,315,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,315,315.
Example:
1 x 7,315,315 = 7,315,315
and
-1 x -7,315,315 = 7,315,315
Notice both answers equal 7,315,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,315,315 and divide it by 2:
7,315,315 ÷ 2 = 3,657,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,657,657.5 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 | 7,315,315 | |
| -1 | -7,315,315 |
Now, we try dividing 7,315,315 by 3:
7,315,315 ÷ 3 = 2,438,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,438,438.3333 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 | 7,315,315 | |
| -1 | -7,315,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,315,315 ÷ 4 = 1,828,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,828,828.75 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 | 7,315,315 | |
| -1 | 7,315,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 47 | 235 | 329 | 1,645 | 4,447 | 22,235 | 31,129 | 155,645 | 209,009 | 1,045,045 | 1,463,063 | 7,315,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -47 | -235 | -329 | -1,645 | -4,447 | -22,235 | -31,129 | -155,645 | -209,009 | -1,045,045 | -1,463,063 | -7,315,315 |
