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 7,958,035, 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 | 7,958,035 | |
| -1 | -7,958,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,958,035.
Example:
1 x 7,958,035 = 7,958,035
and
-1 x -7,958,035 = 7,958,035
Notice both answers equal 7,958,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,958,035 and divide it by 2:
7,958,035 ÷ 2 = 3,979,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,979,017.5 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 | 7,958,035 | |
| -1 | -7,958,035 |
Now, we try dividing 7,958,035 by 3:
7,958,035 ÷ 3 = 2,652,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,652,678.3333 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 | 7,958,035 | |
| -1 | -7,958,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,958,035 ÷ 4 = 1,989,508.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,989,508.75 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 | 7,958,035 | |
| -1 | 7,958,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 71 | 145 | 355 | 773 | 2,059 | 3,865 | 10,295 | 22,417 | 54,883 | 112,085 | 274,415 | 1,591,607 | 7,958,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -71 | -145 | -355 | -773 | -2,059 | -3,865 | -10,295 | -22,417 | -54,883 | -112,085 | -274,415 | -1,591,607 | -7,958,035 |
