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 7,435,945, 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 | 7,435,945 | |
| -1 | -7,435,945 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,435,945.
Example:
1 x 7,435,945 = 7,435,945
and
-1 x -7,435,945 = 7,435,945
Notice both answers equal 7,435,945
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,435,945 and divide it by 2:
7,435,945 ÷ 2 = 3,717,972.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,717,972.5 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 | 7,435,945 | |
| -1 | -7,435,945 |
Now, we try dividing 7,435,945 by 3:
7,435,945 ÷ 3 = 2,478,648.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,478,648.3333 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 | 7,435,945 | |
| -1 | -7,435,945 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,435,945 ÷ 4 = 1,858,986.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,858,986.25 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 | 7,435,945 | |
| -1 | 7,435,945 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 353 | 383 | 1,765 | 1,915 | 3,883 | 4,213 | 19,415 | 21,065 | 135,199 | 675,995 | 1,487,189 | 7,435,945 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -353 | -383 | -1,765 | -1,915 | -3,883 | -4,213 | -19,415 | -21,065 | -135,199 | -675,995 | -1,487,189 | -7,435,945 |
