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 7,453,771, 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 | 7,453,771 | |
| -1 | -7,453,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,453,771.
Example:
1 x 7,453,771 = 7,453,771
and
-1 x -7,453,771 = 7,453,771
Notice both answers equal 7,453,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,453,771 and divide it by 2:
7,453,771 ÷ 2 = 3,726,885.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,726,885.5 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 | 7,453,771 | |
| -1 | -7,453,771 |
Now, we try dividing 7,453,771 by 3:
7,453,771 ÷ 3 = 2,484,590.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,484,590.3333 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 | 7,453,771 | |
| -1 | -7,453,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,453,771 ÷ 4 = 1,863,442.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,863,442.75 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 | 7,453,771 | |
| -1 | 7,453,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 97 | 257 | 299 | 1,261 | 2,231 | 3,341 | 5,911 | 24,929 | 29,003 | 76,843 | 324,077 | 573,367 | 7,453,771 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -97 | -257 | -299 | -1,261 | -2,231 | -3,341 | -5,911 | -24,929 | -29,003 | -76,843 | -324,077 | -573,367 | -7,453,771 |
