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 7,341,467, 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 | 7,341,467 | |
| -1 | -7,341,467 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,341,467.
Example:
1 x 7,341,467 = 7,341,467
and
-1 x -7,341,467 = 7,341,467
Notice both answers equal 7,341,467
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,341,467 and divide it by 2:
7,341,467 ÷ 2 = 3,670,733.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,670,733.5 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 | 7,341,467 | |
| -1 | -7,341,467 |
Now, we try dividing 7,341,467 by 3:
7,341,467 ÷ 3 = 2,447,155.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,447,155.6667 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 | 7,341,467 | |
| -1 | -7,341,467 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,341,467 ÷ 4 = 1,835,366.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,835,366.75 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 | 7,341,467 | |
| -1 | 7,341,467 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 119 | 133 | 191 | 289 | 323 | 1,337 | 2,023 | 2,261 | 3,247 | 3,629 | 5,491 | 22,729 | 25,403 | 38,437 | 55,199 | 61,693 | 386,393 | 431,851 | 1,048,781 | 7,341,467 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -119 | -133 | -191 | -289 | -323 | -1,337 | -2,023 | -2,261 | -3,247 | -3,629 | -5,491 | -22,729 | -25,403 | -38,437 | -55,199 | -61,693 | -386,393 | -431,851 | -1,048,781 | -7,341,467 |
