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 7,466,627, 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 | 7,466,627 | |
| -1 | -7,466,627 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,466,627.
Example:
1 x 7,466,627 = 7,466,627
and
-1 x -7,466,627 = 7,466,627
Notice both answers equal 7,466,627
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,466,627 and divide it by 2:
7,466,627 ÷ 2 = 3,733,313.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,733,313.5 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 | 7,466,627 | |
| -1 | -7,466,627 |
Now, we try dividing 7,466,627 by 3:
7,466,627 ÷ 3 = 2,488,875.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,488,875.6667 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 | 7,466,627 | |
| -1 | -7,466,627 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,466,627 ÷ 4 = 1,866,656.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,866,656.75 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 | 7,466,627 | |
| -1 | 7,466,627 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 101 | 179 | 413 | 707 | 1,253 | 5,959 | 10,561 | 18,079 | 41,713 | 73,927 | 126,553 | 1,066,661 | 7,466,627 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -101 | -179 | -413 | -707 | -1,253 | -5,959 | -10,561 | -18,079 | -41,713 | -73,927 | -126,553 | -1,066,661 | -7,466,627 |
