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 7,366,471, 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 | 7,366,471 | |
| -1 | -7,366,471 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,366,471.
Example:
1 x 7,366,471 = 7,366,471
and
-1 x -7,366,471 = 7,366,471
Notice both answers equal 7,366,471
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,366,471 and divide it by 2:
7,366,471 ÷ 2 = 3,683,235.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,683,235.5 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 | 7,366,471 | |
| -1 | -7,366,471 |
Now, we try dividing 7,366,471 by 3:
7,366,471 ÷ 3 = 2,455,490.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,455,490.3333 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 | 7,366,471 | |
| -1 | -7,366,471 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,366,471 ÷ 4 = 1,841,617.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,841,617.75 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 | 7,366,471 | |
| -1 | 7,366,471 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 97 | 133 | 571 | 679 | 1,843 | 3,997 | 10,849 | 12,901 | 55,387 | 75,943 | 387,709 | 1,052,353 | 7,366,471 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -97 | -133 | -571 | -679 | -1,843 | -3,997 | -10,849 | -12,901 | -55,387 | -75,943 | -387,709 | -1,052,353 | -7,366,471 |
