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 7,608,185, 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 | 7,608,185 | |
| -1 | -7,608,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,608,185.
Example:
1 x 7,608,185 = 7,608,185
and
-1 x -7,608,185 = 7,608,185
Notice both answers equal 7,608,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,608,185 and divide it by 2:
7,608,185 ÷ 2 = 3,804,092.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,804,092.5 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 | 7,608,185 | |
| -1 | -7,608,185 |
Now, we try dividing 7,608,185 by 3:
7,608,185 ÷ 3 = 2,536,061.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,536,061.6667 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 | 7,608,185 | |
| -1 | -7,608,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,608,185 ÷ 4 = 1,902,046.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,902,046.25 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 | 7,608,185 | |
| -1 | 7,608,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 67 | 335 | 871 | 1,747 | 4,355 | 8,735 | 22,711 | 113,555 | 117,049 | 585,245 | 1,521,637 | 7,608,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -67 | -335 | -871 | -1,747 | -4,355 | -8,735 | -22,711 | -113,555 | -117,049 | -585,245 | -1,521,637 | -7,608,185 |
