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 7,471,079, 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 | 7,471,079 | |
| -1 | -7,471,079 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,471,079.
Example:
1 x 7,471,079 = 7,471,079
and
-1 x -7,471,079 = 7,471,079
Notice both answers equal 7,471,079
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,471,079 and divide it by 2:
7,471,079 ÷ 2 = 3,735,539.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,735,539.5 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 | 7,471,079 | |
| -1 | -7,471,079 |
Now, we try dividing 7,471,079 by 3:
7,471,079 ÷ 3 = 2,490,359.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,490,359.6667 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 | 7,471,079 | |
| -1 | -7,471,079 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,471,079 ÷ 4 = 1,867,769.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,867,769.75 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 | 7,471,079 | |
| -1 | 7,471,079 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 83 | 167 | 539 | 581 | 913 | 1,169 | 1,837 | 4,067 | 6,391 | 8,183 | 12,859 | 13,861 | 44,737 | 90,013 | 97,027 | 152,471 | 679,189 | 1,067,297 | 7,471,079 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -83 | -167 | -539 | -581 | -913 | -1,169 | -1,837 | -4,067 | -6,391 | -8,183 | -12,859 | -13,861 | -44,737 | -90,013 | -97,027 | -152,471 | -679,189 | -1,067,297 | -7,471,079 |
