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 8,536,187, 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 | 8,536,187 | |
| -1 | -8,536,187 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,536,187.
Example:
1 x 8,536,187 = 8,536,187
and
-1 x -8,536,187 = 8,536,187
Notice both answers equal 8,536,187
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,536,187 and divide it by 2:
8,536,187 ÷ 2 = 4,268,093.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,268,093.5 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 | 8,536,187 | |
| -1 | -8,536,187 |
Now, we try dividing 8,536,187 by 3:
8,536,187 ÷ 3 = 2,845,395.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,845,395.6667 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 | 8,536,187 | |
| -1 | -8,536,187 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,536,187 ÷ 4 = 2,134,046.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,134,046.75 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 | 8,536,187 | |
| -1 | 8,536,187 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 47 | 79 | 121 | 209 | 517 | 869 | 893 | 1,501 | 2,299 | 3,713 | 5,687 | 9,559 | 9,823 | 16,511 | 40,843 | 70,547 | 108,053 | 181,621 | 449,273 | 776,017 | 8,536,187 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -47 | -79 | -121 | -209 | -517 | -869 | -893 | -1,501 | -2,299 | -3,713 | -5,687 | -9,559 | -9,823 | -16,511 | -40,843 | -70,547 | -108,053 | -181,621 | -449,273 | -776,017 | -8,536,187 |
