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 8,101,457, 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 | 8,101,457 | |
| -1 | -8,101,457 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,101,457.
Example:
1 x 8,101,457 = 8,101,457
and
-1 x -8,101,457 = 8,101,457
Notice both answers equal 8,101,457
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,101,457 and divide it by 2:
8,101,457 ÷ 2 = 4,050,728.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,050,728.5 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 | 8,101,457 | |
| -1 | -8,101,457 |
Now, we try dividing 8,101,457 by 3:
8,101,457 ÷ 3 = 2,700,485.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,700,485.6667 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 | 8,101,457 | |
| -1 | -8,101,457 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,101,457 ÷ 4 = 2,025,364.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,025,364.25 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 | 8,101,457 | |
| -1 | 8,101,457 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 127 | 701 | 889 | 1,651 | 4,907 | 9,113 | 11,557 | 63,791 | 89,027 | 623,189 | 1,157,351 | 8,101,457 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -127 | -701 | -889 | -1,651 | -4,907 | -9,113 | -11,557 | -63,791 | -89,027 | -623,189 | -1,157,351 | -8,101,457 |
