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 7,460,609, 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 | 7,460,609 | |
| -1 | -7,460,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,460,609.
Example:
1 x 7,460,609 = 7,460,609
and
-1 x -7,460,609 = 7,460,609
Notice both answers equal 7,460,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,460,609 and divide it by 2:
7,460,609 ÷ 2 = 3,730,304.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,730,304.5 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 | 7,460,609 | |
| -1 | -7,460,609 |
Now, we try dividing 7,460,609 by 3:
7,460,609 ÷ 3 = 2,486,869.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,486,869.6667 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 | 7,460,609 | |
| -1 | -7,460,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,460,609 ÷ 4 = 1,865,152.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,865,152.25 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 | 7,460,609 | |
| -1 | 7,460,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 71 | 137 | 767 | 923 | 1,781 | 4,189 | 8,083 | 9,727 | 54,457 | 105,079 | 126,451 | 573,893 | 7,460,609 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -71 | -137 | -767 | -923 | -1,781 | -4,189 | -8,083 | -9,727 | -54,457 | -105,079 | -126,451 | -573,893 | -7,460,609 |
