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 8,244,223, 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 | 8,244,223 | |
| -1 | -8,244,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,244,223.
Example:
1 x 8,244,223 = 8,244,223
and
-1 x -8,244,223 = 8,244,223
Notice both answers equal 8,244,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,244,223 and divide it by 2:
8,244,223 ÷ 2 = 4,122,111.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,122,111.5 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 | 8,244,223 | |
| -1 | -8,244,223 |
Now, we try dividing 8,244,223 by 3:
8,244,223 ÷ 3 = 2,748,074.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,748,074.3333 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 | 8,244,223 | |
| -1 | -8,244,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,244,223 ÷ 4 = 2,061,055.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,061,055.75 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 | 8,244,223 | |
| -1 | 8,244,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 47 | 103 | 131 | 611 | 1,339 | 1,703 | 4,841 | 6,157 | 13,493 | 62,933 | 80,041 | 175,409 | 634,171 | 8,244,223 |
| -1 | -13 | -47 | -103 | -131 | -611 | -1,339 | -1,703 | -4,841 | -6,157 | -13,493 | -62,933 | -80,041 | -175,409 | -634,171 | -8,244,223 |
