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 8,017,829, 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 | 8,017,829 | |
| -1 | -8,017,829 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,017,829.
Example:
1 x 8,017,829 = 8,017,829
and
-1 x -8,017,829 = 8,017,829
Notice both answers equal 8,017,829
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,017,829 and divide it by 2:
8,017,829 ÷ 2 = 4,008,914.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,008,914.5 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 | 8,017,829 | |
| -1 | -8,017,829 |
Now, we try dividing 8,017,829 by 3:
8,017,829 ÷ 3 = 2,672,609.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,672,609.6667 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 | 8,017,829 | |
| -1 | -8,017,829 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,017,829 ÷ 4 = 2,004,457.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,004,457.25 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 | 8,017,829 | |
| -1 | 8,017,829 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 103 | 241 | 323 | 1,751 | 1,957 | 4,097 | 4,579 | 24,823 | 33,269 | 77,843 | 421,991 | 471,637 | 8,017,829 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -103 | -241 | -323 | -1,751 | -1,957 | -4,097 | -4,579 | -24,823 | -33,269 | -77,843 | -421,991 | -471,637 | -8,017,829 |
