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 8,501,759, 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 | 8,501,759 | |
| -1 | -8,501,759 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,501,759.
Example:
1 x 8,501,759 = 8,501,759
and
-1 x -8,501,759 = 8,501,759
Notice both answers equal 8,501,759
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,501,759 and divide it by 2:
8,501,759 ÷ 2 = 4,250,879.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,250,879.5 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 | 8,501,759 | |
| -1 | -8,501,759 |
Now, we try dividing 8,501,759 by 3:
8,501,759 ÷ 3 = 2,833,919.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,833,919.6667 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 | 8,501,759 | |
| -1 | -8,501,759 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,501,759 ÷ 4 = 2,125,439.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,125,439.75 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 | 8,501,759 | |
| -1 | 8,501,759 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 97 | 133 | 659 | 679 | 1,843 | 4,613 | 12,521 | 12,901 | 63,923 | 87,647 | 447,461 | 1,214,537 | 8,501,759 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -97 | -133 | -659 | -679 | -1,843 | -4,613 | -12,521 | -12,901 | -63,923 | -87,647 | -447,461 | -1,214,537 | -8,501,759 |
