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 7,702,565, 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 | 7,702,565 | |
| -1 | -7,702,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,702,565.
Example:
1 x 7,702,565 = 7,702,565
and
-1 x -7,702,565 = 7,702,565
Notice both answers equal 7,702,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,702,565 and divide it by 2:
7,702,565 ÷ 2 = 3,851,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,851,282.5 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 | 7,702,565 | |
| -1 | -7,702,565 |
Now, we try dividing 7,702,565 by 3:
7,702,565 ÷ 3 = 2,567,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,567,521.6667 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 | 7,702,565 | |
| -1 | -7,702,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,702,565 ÷ 4 = 1,925,641.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,925,641.25 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 | 7,702,565 | |
| -1 | 7,702,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 163 | 727 | 815 | 2,119 | 3,635 | 9,451 | 10,595 | 47,255 | 118,501 | 592,505 | 1,540,513 | 7,702,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -163 | -727 | -815 | -2,119 | -3,635 | -9,451 | -10,595 | -47,255 | -118,501 | -592,505 | -1,540,513 | -7,702,565 |
