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 8,417,125, 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 | 8,417,125 | |
| -1 | -8,417,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,417,125.
Example:
1 x 8,417,125 = 8,417,125
and
-1 x -8,417,125 = 8,417,125
Notice both answers equal 8,417,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,417,125 and divide it by 2:
8,417,125 ÷ 2 = 4,208,562.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,208,562.5 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 | 8,417,125 | |
| -1 | -8,417,125 |
Now, we try dividing 8,417,125 by 3:
8,417,125 ÷ 3 = 2,805,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,805,708.3333 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 | 8,417,125 | |
| -1 | -8,417,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,417,125 ÷ 4 = 2,104,281.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,104,281.25 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 | 8,417,125 | |
| -1 | 8,417,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 125 | 233 | 289 | 425 | 1,165 | 1,445 | 2,125 | 3,961 | 5,825 | 7,225 | 19,805 | 29,125 | 36,125 | 67,337 | 99,025 | 336,685 | 495,125 | 1,683,425 | 8,417,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -125 | -233 | -289 | -425 | -1,165 | -1,445 | -2,125 | -3,961 | -5,825 | -7,225 | -19,805 | -29,125 | -36,125 | -67,337 | -99,025 | -336,685 | -495,125 | -1,683,425 | -8,417,125 |
