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 7,377,535, 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 | 7,377,535 | |
| -1 | -7,377,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,377,535.
Example:
1 x 7,377,535 = 7,377,535
and
-1 x -7,377,535 = 7,377,535
Notice both answers equal 7,377,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,377,535 and divide it by 2:
7,377,535 ÷ 2 = 3,688,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,688,767.5 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 | 7,377,535 | |
| -1 | -7,377,535 |
Now, we try dividing 7,377,535 by 3:
7,377,535 ÷ 3 = 2,459,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,459,178.3333 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 | 7,377,535 | |
| -1 | -7,377,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,377,535 ÷ 4 = 1,844,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,844,383.75 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 | 7,377,535 | |
| -1 | 7,377,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 4,327 | 21,635 | 47,597 | 134,137 | 237,985 | 670,685 | 1,475,507 | 7,377,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -4,327 | -21,635 | -47,597 | -134,137 | -237,985 | -670,685 | -1,475,507 | -7,377,535 |
