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 7,514,717, 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 | 7,514,717 | |
| -1 | -7,514,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,514,717.
Example:
1 x 7,514,717 = 7,514,717
and
-1 x -7,514,717 = 7,514,717
Notice both answers equal 7,514,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,514,717 and divide it by 2:
7,514,717 ÷ 2 = 3,757,358.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,757,358.5 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 | 7,514,717 | |
| -1 | -7,514,717 |
Now, we try dividing 7,514,717 by 3:
7,514,717 ÷ 3 = 2,504,905.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,504,905.6667 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 | 7,514,717 | |
| -1 | -7,514,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,514,717 ÷ 4 = 1,878,679.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,878,679.25 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 | 7,514,717 | |
| -1 | 7,514,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 79 | 107 | 127 | 553 | 749 | 889 | 8,453 | 10,033 | 13,589 | 59,171 | 70,231 | 95,123 | 1,073,531 | 7,514,717 |
| -1 | -7 | -79 | -107 | -127 | -553 | -749 | -889 | -8,453 | -10,033 | -13,589 | -59,171 | -70,231 | -95,123 | -1,073,531 | -7,514,717 |
