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 8,492,129, 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 | 8,492,129 | |
| -1 | -8,492,129 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,492,129.
Example:
1 x 8,492,129 = 8,492,129
and
-1 x -8,492,129 = 8,492,129
Notice both answers equal 8,492,129
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,492,129 and divide it by 2:
8,492,129 ÷ 2 = 4,246,064.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,246,064.5 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 | 8,492,129 | |
| -1 | -8,492,129 |
Now, we try dividing 8,492,129 by 3:
8,492,129 ÷ 3 = 2,830,709.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,830,709.6667 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 | 8,492,129 | |
| -1 | -8,492,129 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,492,129 ÷ 4 = 2,123,032.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,123,032.25 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 | 8,492,129 | |
| -1 | 8,492,129 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 37 | 391 | 587 | 629 | 851 | 9,979 | 13,501 | 14,467 | 21,719 | 229,517 | 369,223 | 499,537 | 8,492,129 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -37 | -391 | -587 | -629 | -851 | -9,979 | -13,501 | -14,467 | -21,719 | -229,517 | -369,223 | -499,537 | -8,492,129 |
