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 7,557,265, 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 | 7,557,265 | |
| -1 | -7,557,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,557,265.
Example:
1 x 7,557,265 = 7,557,265
and
-1 x -7,557,265 = 7,557,265
Notice both answers equal 7,557,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,557,265 and divide it by 2:
7,557,265 ÷ 2 = 3,778,632.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,778,632.5 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 | 7,557,265 | |
| -1 | -7,557,265 |
Now, we try dividing 7,557,265 by 3:
7,557,265 ÷ 3 = 2,519,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,519,088.3333 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 | 7,557,265 | |
| -1 | -7,557,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,557,265 ÷ 4 = 1,889,316.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,889,316.25 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 | 7,557,265 | |
| -1 | 7,557,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 67 | 85 | 335 | 1,139 | 1,327 | 5,695 | 6,635 | 22,559 | 88,909 | 112,795 | 444,545 | 1,511,453 | 7,557,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -67 | -85 | -335 | -1,139 | -1,327 | -5,695 | -6,635 | -22,559 | -88,909 | -112,795 | -444,545 | -1,511,453 | -7,557,265 |
