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 7,483,247, 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 | 7,483,247 | |
| -1 | -7,483,247 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,483,247.
Example:
1 x 7,483,247 = 7,483,247
and
-1 x -7,483,247 = 7,483,247
Notice both answers equal 7,483,247
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,483,247 and divide it by 2:
7,483,247 ÷ 2 = 3,741,623.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,741,623.5 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 | 7,483,247 | |
| -1 | -7,483,247 |
Now, we try dividing 7,483,247 by 3:
7,483,247 ÷ 3 = 2,494,415.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,494,415.6667 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 | 7,483,247 | |
| -1 | -7,483,247 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,483,247 ÷ 4 = 1,870,811.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,870,811.75 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 | 7,483,247 | |
| -1 | 7,483,247 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 43 | 353 | 493 | 731 | 1,247 | 6,001 | 10,237 | 15,179 | 21,199 | 174,029 | 258,043 | 440,191 | 7,483,247 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -43 | -353 | -493 | -731 | -1,247 | -6,001 | -10,237 | -15,179 | -21,199 | -174,029 | -258,043 | -440,191 | -7,483,247 |
