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 8,048,887, 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 | 8,048,887 | |
| -1 | -8,048,887 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,048,887.
Example:
1 x 8,048,887 = 8,048,887
and
-1 x -8,048,887 = 8,048,887
Notice both answers equal 8,048,887
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,048,887 and divide it by 2:
8,048,887 ÷ 2 = 4,024,443.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,024,443.5 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 | 8,048,887 | |
| -1 | -8,048,887 |
Now, we try dividing 8,048,887 by 3:
8,048,887 ÷ 3 = 2,682,962.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,682,962.3333 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 | 8,048,887 | |
| -1 | -8,048,887 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,048,887 ÷ 4 = 2,012,221.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,012,221.75 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 | 8,048,887 | |
| -1 | 8,048,887 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 109 | 137 | 539 | 763 | 959 | 1,199 | 1,507 | 5,341 | 6,713 | 8,393 | 10,549 | 14,933 | 58,751 | 73,843 | 104,531 | 164,263 | 731,717 | 1,149,841 | 8,048,887 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -109 | -137 | -539 | -763 | -959 | -1,199 | -1,507 | -5,341 | -6,713 | -8,393 | -10,549 | -14,933 | -58,751 | -73,843 | -104,531 | -164,263 | -731,717 | -1,149,841 | -8,048,887 |
