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 7,340,669, 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 | 7,340,669 | |
| -1 | -7,340,669 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,340,669.
Example:
1 x 7,340,669 = 7,340,669
and
-1 x -7,340,669 = 7,340,669
Notice both answers equal 7,340,669
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,340,669 and divide it by 2:
7,340,669 ÷ 2 = 3,670,334.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,670,334.5 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 | 7,340,669 | |
| -1 | -7,340,669 |
Now, we try dividing 7,340,669 by 3:
7,340,669 ÷ 3 = 2,446,889.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,446,889.6667 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 | 7,340,669 | |
| -1 | -7,340,669 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,340,669 ÷ 4 = 1,835,167.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,835,167.25 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 | 7,340,669 | |
| -1 | 7,340,669 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 97 | 133 | 569 | 679 | 1,843 | 3,983 | 10,811 | 12,901 | 55,193 | 75,677 | 386,351 | 1,048,667 | 7,340,669 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -97 | -133 | -569 | -679 | -1,843 | -3,983 | -10,811 | -12,901 | -55,193 | -75,677 | -386,351 | -1,048,667 | -7,340,669 |
