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 7,460,027, 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 | 7,460,027 | |
| -1 | -7,460,027 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,460,027.
Example:
1 x 7,460,027 = 7,460,027
and
-1 x -7,460,027 = 7,460,027
Notice both answers equal 7,460,027
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,460,027 and divide it by 2:
7,460,027 ÷ 2 = 3,730,013.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,730,013.5 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 | 7,460,027 | |
| -1 | -7,460,027 |
Now, we try dividing 7,460,027 by 3:
7,460,027 ÷ 3 = 2,486,675.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,486,675.6667 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 | 7,460,027 | |
| -1 | -7,460,027 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,460,027 ÷ 4 = 1,865,006.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,865,006.75 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 | 7,460,027 | |
| -1 | 7,460,027 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 43 | 397 | 437 | 817 | 989 | 7,543 | 9,131 | 17,071 | 18,791 | 173,489 | 324,349 | 392,633 | 7,460,027 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -43 | -397 | -437 | -817 | -989 | -7,543 | -9,131 | -17,071 | -18,791 | -173,489 | -324,349 | -392,633 | -7,460,027 |
