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 8,023,235, 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 | 8,023,235 | |
| -1 | -8,023,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,023,235.
Example:
1 x 8,023,235 = 8,023,235
and
-1 x -8,023,235 = 8,023,235
Notice both answers equal 8,023,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,023,235 and divide it by 2:
8,023,235 ÷ 2 = 4,011,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,011,617.5 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 | 8,023,235 | |
| -1 | -8,023,235 |
Now, we try dividing 8,023,235 by 3:
8,023,235 ÷ 3 = 2,674,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,674,411.6667 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 | 8,023,235 | |
| -1 | -8,023,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,023,235 ÷ 4 = 2,005,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,005,808.75 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 | 8,023,235 | |
| -1 | 8,023,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 935 | 8,581 | 42,905 | 94,391 | 145,877 | 471,955 | 729,385 | 1,604,647 | 8,023,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -935 | -8,581 | -42,905 | -94,391 | -145,877 | -471,955 | -729,385 | -1,604,647 | -8,023,235 |
