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 7,422,875, 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 | 7,422,875 | |
| -1 | -7,422,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,422,875.
Example:
1 x 7,422,875 = 7,422,875
and
-1 x -7,422,875 = 7,422,875
Notice both answers equal 7,422,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,422,875 and divide it by 2:
7,422,875 ÷ 2 = 3,711,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,711,437.5 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 | 7,422,875 | |
| -1 | -7,422,875 |
Now, we try dividing 7,422,875 by 3:
7,422,875 ÷ 3 = 2,474,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,474,291.6667 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 | 7,422,875 | |
| -1 | -7,422,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,422,875 ÷ 4 = 1,855,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,855,718.75 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 | 7,422,875 | |
| -1 | 7,422,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 43 | 125 | 215 | 1,075 | 1,381 | 5,375 | 6,905 | 34,525 | 59,383 | 172,625 | 296,915 | 1,484,575 | 7,422,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -43 | -125 | -215 | -1,075 | -1,381 | -5,375 | -6,905 | -34,525 | -59,383 | -172,625 | -296,915 | -1,484,575 | -7,422,875 |
