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 8,254,183, 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 | 8,254,183 | |
| -1 | -8,254,183 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,254,183.
Example:
1 x 8,254,183 = 8,254,183
and
-1 x -8,254,183 = 8,254,183
Notice both answers equal 8,254,183
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,254,183 and divide it by 2:
8,254,183 ÷ 2 = 4,127,091.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,127,091.5 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 | 8,254,183 | |
| -1 | -8,254,183 |
Now, we try dividing 8,254,183 by 3:
8,254,183 ÷ 3 = 2,751,394.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,751,394.3333 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 | 8,254,183 | |
| -1 | -8,254,183 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,254,183 ÷ 4 = 2,063,545.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,063,545.75 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 | 8,254,183 | |
| -1 | 8,254,183 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 73 | 203 | 511 | 557 | 2,117 | 3,899 | 14,819 | 16,153 | 40,661 | 113,071 | 284,627 | 1,179,169 | 8,254,183 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -73 | -203 | -511 | -557 | -2,117 | -3,899 | -14,819 | -16,153 | -40,661 | -113,071 | -284,627 | -1,179,169 | -8,254,183 |
