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 8,300,131, 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 | 8,300,131 | |
| -1 | -8,300,131 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,300,131.
Example:
1 x 8,300,131 = 8,300,131
and
-1 x -8,300,131 = 8,300,131
Notice both answers equal 8,300,131
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,300,131 and divide it by 2:
8,300,131 ÷ 2 = 4,150,065.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,150,065.5 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 | 8,300,131 | |
| -1 | -8,300,131 |
Now, we try dividing 8,300,131 by 3:
8,300,131 ÷ 3 = 2,766,710.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,766,710.3333 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 | 8,300,131 | |
| -1 | -8,300,131 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,300,131 ÷ 4 = 2,075,032.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,075,032.75 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 | 8,300,131 | |
| -1 | 8,300,131 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 19 | 119 | 133 | 323 | 2,261 | 3,671 | 25,697 | 62,407 | 69,749 | 436,849 | 488,243 | 1,185,733 | 8,300,131 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -19 | -119 | -133 | -323 | -2,261 | -3,671 | -25,697 | -62,407 | -69,749 | -436,849 | -488,243 | -1,185,733 | -8,300,131 |
