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 8,024,753, 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 | 8,024,753 | |
| -1 | -8,024,753 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,024,753.
Example:
1 x 8,024,753 = 8,024,753
and
-1 x -8,024,753 = 8,024,753
Notice both answers equal 8,024,753
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,024,753 and divide it by 2:
8,024,753 ÷ 2 = 4,012,376.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,012,376.5 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 | 8,024,753 | |
| -1 | -8,024,753 |
Now, we try dividing 8,024,753 by 3:
8,024,753 ÷ 3 = 2,674,917.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,674,917.6667 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 | 8,024,753 | |
| -1 | -8,024,753 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,024,753 ÷ 4 = 2,006,188.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,006,188.25 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 | 8,024,753 | |
| -1 | 8,024,753 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 101 | 233 | 341 | 1,111 | 2,563 | 3,131 | 7,223 | 23,533 | 34,441 | 79,453 | 258,863 | 729,523 | 8,024,753 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -101 | -233 | -341 | -1,111 | -2,563 | -3,131 | -7,223 | -23,533 | -34,441 | -79,453 | -258,863 | -729,523 | -8,024,753 |
