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 7,851,235, 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 | 7,851,235 | |
| -1 | -7,851,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,851,235.
Example:
1 x 7,851,235 = 7,851,235
and
-1 x -7,851,235 = 7,851,235
Notice both answers equal 7,851,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,851,235 and divide it by 2:
7,851,235 ÷ 2 = 3,925,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,925,617.5 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 | 7,851,235 | |
| -1 | -7,851,235 |
Now, we try dividing 7,851,235 by 3:
7,851,235 ÷ 3 = 2,617,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,617,078.3333 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 | 7,851,235 | |
| -1 | -7,851,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,851,235 ÷ 4 = 1,962,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,962,808.75 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 | 7,851,235 | |
| -1 | 7,851,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 101 | 505 | 707 | 2,221 | 3,535 | 11,105 | 15,547 | 77,735 | 224,321 | 1,121,605 | 1,570,247 | 7,851,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -101 | -505 | -707 | -2,221 | -3,535 | -11,105 | -15,547 | -77,735 | -224,321 | -1,121,605 | -1,570,247 | -7,851,235 |
