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 8,547,895, 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 | 8,547,895 | |
| -1 | -8,547,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,547,895.
Example:
1 x 8,547,895 = 8,547,895
and
-1 x -8,547,895 = 8,547,895
Notice both answers equal 8,547,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,547,895 and divide it by 2:
8,547,895 ÷ 2 = 4,273,947.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,273,947.5 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 | 8,547,895 | |
| -1 | -8,547,895 |
Now, we try dividing 8,547,895 by 3:
8,547,895 ÷ 3 = 2,849,298.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,849,298.3333 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 | 8,547,895 | |
| -1 | -8,547,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,547,895 ÷ 4 = 2,136,973.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,136,973.75 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 | 8,547,895 | |
| -1 | 8,547,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 167 | 353 | 835 | 1,765 | 4,843 | 10,237 | 24,215 | 51,185 | 58,951 | 294,755 | 1,709,579 | 8,547,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -167 | -353 | -835 | -1,765 | -4,843 | -10,237 | -24,215 | -51,185 | -58,951 | -294,755 | -1,709,579 | -8,547,895 |
