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 8,437,363, 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 | 8,437,363 | |
| -1 | -8,437,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,437,363.
Example:
1 x 8,437,363 = 8,437,363
and
-1 x -8,437,363 = 8,437,363
Notice both answers equal 8,437,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,437,363 and divide it by 2:
8,437,363 ÷ 2 = 4,218,681.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,218,681.5 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 | 8,437,363 | |
| -1 | -8,437,363 |
Now, we try dividing 8,437,363 by 3:
8,437,363 ÷ 3 = 2,812,454.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,812,454.3333 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 | 8,437,363 | |
| -1 | -8,437,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,437,363 ÷ 4 = 2,109,340.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,109,340.75 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 | 8,437,363 | |
| -1 | 8,437,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 109 | 227 | 341 | 1,199 | 2,497 | 3,379 | 7,037 | 24,743 | 37,169 | 77,407 | 272,173 | 767,033 | 8,437,363 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -109 | -227 | -341 | -1,199 | -2,497 | -3,379 | -7,037 | -24,743 | -37,169 | -77,407 | -272,173 | -767,033 | -8,437,363 |
