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 7,707,359, 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 | 7,707,359 | |
| -1 | -7,707,359 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,707,359.
Example:
1 x 7,707,359 = 7,707,359
and
-1 x -7,707,359 = 7,707,359
Notice both answers equal 7,707,359
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,707,359 and divide it by 2:
7,707,359 ÷ 2 = 3,853,679.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,853,679.5 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 | 7,707,359 | |
| -1 | -7,707,359 |
Now, we try dividing 7,707,359 by 3:
7,707,359 ÷ 3 = 2,569,119.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,569,119.6667 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 | 7,707,359 | |
| -1 | -7,707,359 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,707,359 ÷ 4 = 1,926,839.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,926,839.75 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 | 7,707,359 | |
| -1 | 7,707,359 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 37 | 319 | 407 | 653 | 1,073 | 7,183 | 11,803 | 18,937 | 24,161 | 208,307 | 265,771 | 700,669 | 7,707,359 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -37 | -319 | -407 | -653 | -1,073 | -7,183 | -11,803 | -18,937 | -24,161 | -208,307 | -265,771 | -700,669 | -7,707,359 |
