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 7,444,045, 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 | 7,444,045 | |
| -1 | -7,444,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,444,045.
Example:
1 x 7,444,045 = 7,444,045
and
-1 x -7,444,045 = 7,444,045
Notice both answers equal 7,444,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,444,045 and divide it by 2:
7,444,045 ÷ 2 = 3,722,022.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,722,022.5 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 | 7,444,045 | |
| -1 | -7,444,045 |
Now, we try dividing 7,444,045 by 3:
7,444,045 ÷ 3 = 2,481,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,481,348.3333 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 | 7,444,045 | |
| -1 | -7,444,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,444,045 ÷ 4 = 1,861,011.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,861,011.25 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 | 7,444,045 | |
| -1 | 7,444,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 12,511 | 62,555 | 87,577 | 212,687 | 437,885 | 1,063,435 | 1,488,809 | 7,444,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -12,511 | -62,555 | -87,577 | -212,687 | -437,885 | -1,063,435 | -1,488,809 | -7,444,045 |
