How do I find the factor combinations of the number 7,509,019?

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 7,509,019, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 7,509,019
-1 -7,509,019

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,509,019.

Example:
1 x 7,509,019 = 7,509,019
and
-1 x -7,509,019 = 7,509,019
Notice both answers equal 7,509,019

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,509,019 and divide it by 2:

7,509,019 ÷ 2 = 3,754,509.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,754,509.5 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 7,509,019
-1 -7,509,019

Now, we try dividing 7,509,019 by 3:

7,509,019 ÷ 3 = 2,503,006.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,503,006.3333 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 7,509,019
-1 -7,509,019

Let's try dividing by 4:

7,509,019 ÷ 4 = 1,877,254.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,877,254.75 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 7,509,019
-1 7,509,019
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1717891196237091,5134,96310,59112,05363,10184,371441,7071,072,7177,509,019
