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 8,343,247, 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 | 8,343,247 | |
| -1 | -8,343,247 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,343,247.
Example:
1 x 8,343,247 = 8,343,247
and
-1 x -8,343,247 = 8,343,247
Notice both answers equal 8,343,247
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,343,247 and divide it by 2:
8,343,247 ÷ 2 = 4,171,623.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,171,623.5 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 | 8,343,247 | |
| -1 | -8,343,247 |
Now, we try dividing 8,343,247 by 3:
8,343,247 ÷ 3 = 2,781,082.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,781,082.3333 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 | 8,343,247 | |
| -1 | -8,343,247 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,343,247 ÷ 4 = 2,085,811.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,085,811.75 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 | 8,343,247 | |
| -1 | 8,343,247 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 43 | 341 | 473 | 569 | 1,333 | 6,259 | 14,663 | 17,639 | 24,467 | 194,029 | 269,137 | 758,477 | 8,343,247 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -43 | -341 | -473 | -569 | -1,333 | -6,259 | -14,663 | -17,639 | -24,467 | -194,029 | -269,137 | -758,477 | -8,343,247 |
