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 7,937,015, 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 | 7,937,015 | |
| -1 | -7,937,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,937,015.
Example:
1 x 7,937,015 = 7,937,015
and
-1 x -7,937,015 = 7,937,015
Notice both answers equal 7,937,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,937,015 and divide it by 2:
7,937,015 ÷ 2 = 3,968,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,968,507.5 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 | 7,937,015 | |
| -1 | -7,937,015 |
Now, we try dividing 7,937,015 by 3:
7,937,015 ÷ 3 = 2,645,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,645,671.6667 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 | 7,937,015 | |
| -1 | -7,937,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,937,015 ÷ 4 = 1,984,253.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,984,253.75 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 | 7,937,015 | |
| -1 | 7,937,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 61 | 265 | 305 | 491 | 2,455 | 3,233 | 16,165 | 26,023 | 29,951 | 130,115 | 149,755 | 1,587,403 | 7,937,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -61 | -265 | -305 | -491 | -2,455 | -3,233 | -16,165 | -26,023 | -29,951 | -130,115 | -149,755 | -1,587,403 | -7,937,015 |
