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 7,533,253, 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 | 7,533,253 | |
| -1 | -7,533,253 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 7,533,253.
Example:
1 x 7,533,253 = 7,533,253
and
-1 x -7,533,253 = 7,533,253
Notice both answers equal 7,533,253
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 7,533,253 and divide it by 2:
7,533,253 ÷ 2 = 3,766,626.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 3,766,626.5 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 | 7,533,253 | |
| -1 | -7,533,253 |
Now, we try dividing 7,533,253 by 3:
7,533,253 ÷ 3 = 2,511,084.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,511,084.3333 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 | 7,533,253 | |
| -1 | -7,533,253 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
7,533,253 ÷ 4 = 1,883,313.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,883,313.25 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 | 7,533,253 | |
| -1 | 7,533,253 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 1,729 | 4,357 | 30,499 | 56,641 | 82,783 | 396,487 | 579,481 | 1,076,179 | 7,533,253 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -1,729 | -4,357 | -30,499 | -56,641 | -82,783 | -396,487 | -579,481 | -1,076,179 | -7,533,253 |
