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 8,436,037, 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 | 8,436,037 | |
| -1 | -8,436,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,436,037.
Example:
1 x 8,436,037 = 8,436,037
and
-1 x -8,436,037 = 8,436,037
Notice both answers equal 8,436,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,436,037 and divide it by 2:
8,436,037 ÷ 2 = 4,218,018.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,218,018.5 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 | 8,436,037 | |
| -1 | -8,436,037 |
Now, we try dividing 8,436,037 by 3:
8,436,037 ÷ 3 = 2,812,012.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,812,012.3333 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 | 8,436,037 | |
| -1 | -8,436,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,436,037 ÷ 4 = 2,109,009.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,109,009.25 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 | 8,436,037 | |
| -1 | 8,436,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 41 | 67 | 83 | 1,517 | 2,479 | 2,747 | 3,071 | 3,403 | 5,561 | 101,639 | 125,911 | 205,757 | 228,001 | 8,436,037 |
| -1 | -37 | -41 | -67 | -83 | -1,517 | -2,479 | -2,747 | -3,071 | -3,403 | -5,561 | -101,639 | -125,911 | -205,757 | -228,001 | -8,436,037 |
