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 8,492,125, 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 | 8,492,125 | |
| -1 | -8,492,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,492,125.
Example:
1 x 8,492,125 = 8,492,125
and
-1 x -8,492,125 = 8,492,125
Notice both answers equal 8,492,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,492,125 and divide it by 2:
8,492,125 ÷ 2 = 4,246,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,246,062.5 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 | 8,492,125 | |
| -1 | -8,492,125 |
Now, we try dividing 8,492,125 by 3:
8,492,125 ÷ 3 = 2,830,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,830,708.3333 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 | 8,492,125 | |
| -1 | -8,492,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,492,125 ÷ 4 = 2,123,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,123,031.25 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 | 8,492,125 | |
| -1 | 8,492,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 41 | 125 | 205 | 1,025 | 1,657 | 5,125 | 8,285 | 41,425 | 67,937 | 207,125 | 339,685 | 1,698,425 | 8,492,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -41 | -125 | -205 | -1,025 | -1,657 | -5,125 | -8,285 | -41,425 | -67,937 | -207,125 | -339,685 | -1,698,425 | -8,492,125 |
