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 7,844,305, 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 | 7,844,305 | |
| -1 | -7,844,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,844,305.
Example:
1 x 7,844,305 = 7,844,305
and
-1 x -7,844,305 = 7,844,305
Notice both answers equal 7,844,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,844,305 and divide it by 2:
7,844,305 ÷ 2 = 3,922,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,922,152.5 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 | 7,844,305 | |
| -1 | -7,844,305 |
Now, we try dividing 7,844,305 by 3:
7,844,305 ÷ 3 = 2,614,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,614,768.3333 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 | 7,844,305 | |
| -1 | -7,844,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,844,305 ÷ 4 = 1,961,076.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,961,076.25 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 | 7,844,305 | |
| -1 | 7,844,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 79 | 395 | 553 | 2,765 | 2,837 | 14,185 | 19,859 | 99,295 | 224,123 | 1,120,615 | 1,568,861 | 7,844,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -79 | -395 | -553 | -2,765 | -2,837 | -14,185 | -19,859 | -99,295 | -224,123 | -1,120,615 | -1,568,861 | -7,844,305 |
