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 8,335,481, 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 | 8,335,481 | |
| -1 | -8,335,481 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,335,481.
Example:
1 x 8,335,481 = 8,335,481
and
-1 x -8,335,481 = 8,335,481
Notice both answers equal 8,335,481
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,335,481 and divide it by 2:
8,335,481 ÷ 2 = 4,167,740.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,167,740.5 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 | 8,335,481 | |
| -1 | -8,335,481 |
Now, we try dividing 8,335,481 by 3:
8,335,481 ÷ 3 = 2,778,493.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,778,493.6667 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 | 8,335,481 | |
| -1 | -8,335,481 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,335,481 ÷ 4 = 2,083,870.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,083,870.25 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 | 8,335,481 | |
| -1 | 8,335,481 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 103 | 721 | 1,051 | 1,133 | 7,357 | 7,931 | 11,561 | 80,927 | 108,253 | 757,771 | 1,190,783 | 8,335,481 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -103 | -721 | -1,051 | -1,133 | -7,357 | -7,931 | -11,561 | -80,927 | -108,253 | -757,771 | -1,190,783 | -8,335,481 |
