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 7,700,341, 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 | 7,700,341 | |
| -1 | -7,700,341 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,700,341.
Example:
1 x 7,700,341 = 7,700,341
and
-1 x -7,700,341 = 7,700,341
Notice both answers equal 7,700,341
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,700,341 and divide it by 2:
7,700,341 ÷ 2 = 3,850,170.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,850,170.5 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 | 7,700,341 | |
| -1 | -7,700,341 |
Now, we try dividing 7,700,341 by 3:
7,700,341 ÷ 3 = 2,566,780.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,566,780.3333 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 | 7,700,341 | |
| -1 | -7,700,341 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,700,341 ÷ 4 = 1,925,085.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,925,085.25 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 | 7,700,341 | |
| -1 | 7,700,341 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 101 | 239 | 319 | 1,111 | 2,629 | 2,929 | 6,931 | 24,139 | 32,219 | 76,241 | 265,529 | 700,031 | 7,700,341 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -101 | -239 | -319 | -1,111 | -2,629 | -2,929 | -6,931 | -24,139 | -32,219 | -76,241 | -265,529 | -700,031 | -7,700,341 |
