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 7,532,287, 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 | 7,532,287 | |
| -1 | -7,532,287 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,532,287.
Example:
1 x 7,532,287 = 7,532,287
and
-1 x -7,532,287 = 7,532,287
Notice both answers equal 7,532,287
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,532,287 and divide it by 2:
7,532,287 ÷ 2 = 3,766,143.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,766,143.5 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 | 7,532,287 | |
| -1 | -7,532,287 |
Now, we try dividing 7,532,287 by 3:
7,532,287 ÷ 3 = 2,510,762.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,510,762.3333 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 | 7,532,287 | |
| -1 | -7,532,287 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,532,287 ÷ 4 = 1,883,071.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,883,071.75 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 | 7,532,287 | |
| -1 | 7,532,287 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 103 | 217 | 337 | 721 | 2,359 | 3,193 | 10,447 | 22,351 | 34,711 | 73,129 | 242,977 | 1,076,041 | 7,532,287 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -103 | -217 | -337 | -721 | -2,359 | -3,193 | -10,447 | -22,351 | -34,711 | -73,129 | -242,977 | -1,076,041 | -7,532,287 |
