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 8,355,049, 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 | 8,355,049 | |
| -1 | -8,355,049 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,355,049.
Example:
1 x 8,355,049 = 8,355,049
and
-1 x -8,355,049 = 8,355,049
Notice both answers equal 8,355,049
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,355,049 and divide it by 2:
8,355,049 ÷ 2 = 4,177,524.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,177,524.5 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 | 8,355,049 | |
| -1 | -8,355,049 |
Now, we try dividing 8,355,049 by 3:
8,355,049 ÷ 3 = 2,785,016.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,785,016.3333 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 | 8,355,049 | |
| -1 | -8,355,049 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,355,049 ÷ 4 = 2,088,762.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,088,762.25 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 | 8,355,049 | |
| -1 | 8,355,049 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 47 | 59 | 131 | 1,081 | 1,357 | 2,773 | 3,013 | 6,157 | 7,729 | 63,779 | 141,611 | 177,767 | 363,263 | 8,355,049 |
| -1 | -23 | -47 | -59 | -131 | -1,081 | -1,357 | -2,773 | -3,013 | -6,157 | -7,729 | -63,779 | -141,611 | -177,767 | -363,263 | -8,355,049 |
