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 8,362,655, 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 | 8,362,655 | |
| -1 | -8,362,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,362,655.
Example:
1 x 8,362,655 = 8,362,655
and
-1 x -8,362,655 = 8,362,655
Notice both answers equal 8,362,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,362,655 and divide it by 2:
8,362,655 ÷ 2 = 4,181,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,181,327.5 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 | 8,362,655 | |
| -1 | -8,362,655 |
Now, we try dividing 8,362,655 by 3:
8,362,655 ÷ 3 = 2,787,551.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,787,551.6667 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 | 8,362,655 | |
| -1 | -8,362,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,362,655 ÷ 4 = 2,090,663.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,090,663.75 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 | 8,362,655 | |
| -1 | 8,362,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 337 | 709 | 1,685 | 2,359 | 3,545 | 4,963 | 11,795 | 24,815 | 238,933 | 1,194,665 | 1,672,531 | 8,362,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -337 | -709 | -1,685 | -2,359 | -3,545 | -4,963 | -11,795 | -24,815 | -238,933 | -1,194,665 | -1,672,531 | -8,362,655 |
