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 8,444,303, 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 | 8,444,303 | |
| -1 | -8,444,303 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,444,303.
Example:
1 x 8,444,303 = 8,444,303
and
-1 x -8,444,303 = 8,444,303
Notice both answers equal 8,444,303
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,444,303 and divide it by 2:
8,444,303 ÷ 2 = 4,222,151.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,222,151.5 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 | 8,444,303 | |
| -1 | -8,444,303 |
Now, we try dividing 8,444,303 by 3:
8,444,303 ÷ 3 = 2,814,767.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,814,767.6667 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 | 8,444,303 | |
| -1 | -8,444,303 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,444,303 ÷ 4 = 2,111,075.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,111,075.75 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 | 8,444,303 | |
| -1 | 8,444,303 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 173 | 367 | 1,211 | 2,569 | 3,287 | 6,973 | 23,009 | 48,811 | 63,491 | 444,437 | 1,206,329 | 8,444,303 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -173 | -367 | -1,211 | -2,569 | -3,287 | -6,973 | -23,009 | -48,811 | -63,491 | -444,437 | -1,206,329 | -8,444,303 |
